And quite surprisingly I've been around for all that time as well. I haven't made a card for every single dare - but I've managed quite a few in that time. It has been my pleasure to work with some really lovely people and be awed by their creativity. I have even met a few of them in real life! Thanks for being such an important part of my life everyone :)
I thought it would be fun to pull out my first card and see what I thought.
Sadly, I think I prefer it to the one I have made this week!
We are having a month of celebrations at Daring Cardmakers so why not join in the fun (and the giveaways)
This week there are punches to be won - if you play along with the Dare which is to take inspiration from the rainbow colours of this cake
It was going to be a layer cake but it just wouldn't go right so in the end I made a layered square and added a home made candle on the top. I love the rainbow birthday epoxy stickers which I have had for ever and the card also features one of the lovely Docraft punches you can win this week and some home made enamel dots. I added lots of sparkle to the candle with Rock Candy Distress Stickles
I actually have an almost day off tomorrow (apart from the concert I will need to attend and give the vote of thanks at - one of the quirky fun things about my job. Sometimes it is hard to find the right words to say (the choral version of Bohemian Rhapsody and a whole concert of tambourine playing I found particularly interesting) but that can be part of the challenge) and as it is World Cardmaking Day I really ought to join in. So I will give this dare another go!
Why don't you as well?

I really like the rainbow layers on your card, and I think you're being unnecessarily hard on yourself! I think it's a fab card and the design works really well. It's great to see your first ever card too! I was joining in on the dares from quite early on and it really doesn't seem like 7 years.
It didn't go wrong Lythan, it's a great card! I especially love the chevron, as you will have guessed! And all that sparkle!! Congratulations to you on your 7th DCM-iversary!
I remember that heart card - you did a tute on a forum for it if I remember tightly - you started me off on a love affair with using small punched squares for mosaics that I still love to do now!
There is nothing wrong with this weeks card, it's bright, graphic and cheerful and exactly right
