Kool Kitty Musings: 2016 card challenge

Disclaimer

About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

2016 card challenge - April prompts

Happy Friday and happy April!

It's time for some new prompts for the 2016 card challenge and here's what I've picked out this month!

Lots of ways to go with this selection:

Explore subtle textures using embossing folders or embossing paste
Typewriters! Still love them and they're always great for showcasing your greeting
Chevron patterns!
Pockets or tabs with a button-loop detail
Garlands - think stars, hearts, circles on twine or thread
Big bow accents - why not make them the star of your card
Gold foiled sentiments
A fancy birthday cake
Watercolour washes
Focus colour: yellow
Ombré effect
Fancy calligraphy/brush script
Pick shades from the colour palette featured in the pin

As for the festive number... I know I've not managed to keep up, but I am keeping a note of the Christmas prompts for future use when I have chance to catch up!

This is the April pick:

Inspiration includes:

Incorporating pompom trim
Focal colours of red, green, and white against neutrals
White on black sentiments
Embroidery/stitching
Incorporating an embroidery hoop as a frame
Circular greetings
Single word greeting
Rustic/folk style

I'll leave you to ponder those and look forward to seeing what you make! :D

Happy crafting!
