OOh la la

This week's Daring cardmakers challenge is to make a card featuring a foreign language.

Earlier this year I made three mini cards (you can see the original post here) using 7 gypsies baja 'amour' paper (the script has definitons such as dream, kiss, happiness, love etc) and Crafty Individuals pictures, together with silver embossed hearts and diamente gems.

I cut the fronts off these little cards (I came across them today when I was getting my cards ready for Saturday, so I thought I would use them), distressed them with brushed corduroy DI and mounted them on to papers from g.c.d Paris Nights collection (I do love these papers), distressing the edges and adding a different ribbon on each card.



These are also for:

Inky impressions 27: monochromatic
Dream valley 17: monochrome
The cat's pajamas 179: hype the type - type is the focal point
Crafty Ann 50: around the world
Our creative corner: card that takes its inspiration from a country other than your own
Fun with shapes and more 93: shabby/vintage (shapes: die cut hearts)
Paper-crafting journey 20: die cuts and/or punches (the hearts)
Craft your passion 78: anything goes + ribbon
Ribbon carousel 23: anything goes
Sew many challenges: anything goes
Penny's 63: anything goes
Creatalicious 26: anything goes
Papertake: anything goes
Crazy4challenges 107: World Cardmaking Day - anything goes - donate to charity (these will be among others sold at my sale on Saturday to raise money for Tearfund)
Lothian crafts 19: anything goes
