I know one or two of you will have picked up on my modest declaration that this month I'm a Guest Designer for the Daring Cardmakers Design Team. I love a title! Well, this week's Dare is set by Jane and the card shown is my attempt. The Dare reads thus:'Material girl' I would love you all to design a card inspired by a design on clothing - I know we have done inspired by clothing before but I was thinking more about being inspired by the pictures/textures/slogans/quotes on tshirts - not just limited to the colours/patterns on materials.(although, of course, they are perfectly acceptable too!')
Well, I walked around this in a panic for three days. Finally, I 'drew inspiration' from fabrics that I've worn in the past and of course, an iconic (if you're old enough, and British) tee shirt slogan. See,.....Jane set no boundaries , but made suggestions. And so I learned that I had to interpret and come up with something and oh boy, I learned that I do like a narrow boundary! So I just know that you can do better - be tempted please and enter, show me what you think of Jane's dare. I dare you too!
Thanks for your interesting and helpful comments about yesterday's posts...my word some good ideas. I will of course, fill you in on my progress. The bump at the edge is already looking ike a gonner thanks to advice.
Have a nice weekend!

Well I love it but then I am a sucker for anything with fabrics on it!!
Love this card! I so remember that song and the t shirt (I loved that music) and the little fuzzy balls just seem perfect contrast to the whole thing. :) Nan
I had a 'Relax' tee shirt, white with black text. i also had a 'go-go' tee shirt (wham) white with turquoise text...ahhhh the good old days!

And motorhead - oooh yeah - gonna paint me a motorhead!

I wish I could remember that far back. I do remember going out in hot pants, Purple maxi coat and knee length white snake skin boots. Love the card and for stirring the old memories.
love what you came up with!! Robin
Cool!! You certainly thought outside the box for this one.
Just love this! The pom poms are great, and love the "relax".
Must try working with fabric more often...
hi Julia

Hi Julia fab card love the measuring tape. I can remember the relax craze. I had a bright green vest top with Relax on it.
Fabulous Julia! I think you did well with the short brief :)
When I was 14 I had a black leather jacket...my mum paid a fortune for it and I covered it in silver studs and painted AC/DC in acrylic paint on the back....needless to say, mum went beserk when she saw it!
As a child I couldn't see what I had done wrong and I certainly couldn't see why she was freaking out rofl.
*hugs* Heather x
