Daring Cardmakers

I make umpteen of these every year but only as they are ordered, the images are still as popular as they were when they first came out a couple of years ago.

I thought it was apt as the DCM challenge this week is

The theme for this week's cardmaking is
WATER
You could make a card with a watery theme (lakes, rivers, fishies, boats etc), or maybe you'll find a way to actually use some water in the making of your card eg colouring with watercolours.

I can remember my nana and grandad having a tin bath in front of the fire and my mum said that when she was young they had an oven like that too and they used to put their jamas in the oven in winter to warm them before they got changed!! I'm so glad that we have progressed since then lol

I'm not really into decoupage but I do like the sheets by Jak Heath. DH's uncle was 80 last weekend and I wanted to make him a card which was a bit special. He loves his garden but I've used everything else I have to do with gardening on previous cards, then I remembered I had these sheets. Once I had it cut out and made up I started my seach for a wood grained paper which I eventually found (but can't remember where from. Any how, DH rang him last Saturday and all he kept saying was that I was really clever, he had never seen a card like it before and was so chuffed with it he had shown it to everyone who had been round :)
I can't and won't take the full credit for the card as, if it wasn't for this very talented lady, Jak Heath, it would never have materialised......thanks Jak!

The bits and pieces hanging on the front of the shed are stamped images from a set I won a few years ago, I think they are by One Four Zero. The seed packet is a button and the brads are from my stash.

Can you tell I'm avoiding work? LOL I must get my bits finished though as I have another job to do this week that I'm really looking forward to :)

Take care, bfn
