2016 card challenge - October prompts

Morning everyone!

Well, we are reaching the final stretch of this year's card challenge.

For our main prompt this month I've chosen this pic:

There are some very cool design elements that can be easily translated to a card project:

• Geometric prints as a main background
• Copper/rose gold foiling/embossing/accents
• Rusty red as an accent colour
• Grey tones with a pop of contrasting colour
• Woodgrain textures and background
• Ombré effect like the rug
• Felt and fabrics
• Gladioli
• Mirror-effect - sequins and similar bling, an actual mirror in the design, mirror stamping techniques
• A circle as the main focus of your card - whether an aperture, circular text, or masking out a circle in the background to highlight your sentiment
• A retro feel

As for this month's festive prompt, well I thought it was time to focus on the humble snowflake:

You can be inspired by the picture in many ways:

• Recreate the window scene
• Feature falling snowflakes
• Create a garland of suspended snowflakes
• Focus on one eye-catching snowflake as your main design element - make it simple (white on white) or bling it up to the max with beads, glitter, etc.

That's it for this month, hope you enjoy the prompts!

Happy crafting!
