DCM Dare


This week's dare on DCM is:
"Everything we buy has packaging, some of it excessive, some of it beautifully designed. Tags, labels, stickers... all sorts of bits and bobs that we can recycle onto cards.I dare you to make a card using a tag, label, sticker or anything else you can find, thats from packaging and would normally end up in the bin. Of course you can ink it, change it, distress it and add anything else you like!If you're feeling brave, I DOUBLE DARE you to make it a card for a man!"

So here it is. I have no idea where the tobacco label came from - nobody in this house smokes!

Yes, the accordion player is a stamp. Thanks for all your comments - I've been stamping for a few years but a new challnge is always a good thing.

Fantastic vintage card. Love that image.

This really nice, the colours are so subtle.

If it's any consolation, we have the strangest weather over here in the UK too. 4 inches of rain in a day, more than the normal for the whole month.
