Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Elaine

Hello everyone ~ I've been crafting for a life time!  I love card making as I mostly find it relaxing - unless my mojo has disappeared!  I also love textile crafts - sewing, knitting, embroidery and cross stitch.  I've recently taken up printing and love it - I'm not a brilliant artist but like having a go.  In many ways I'm happy to try anything that keeps me busy and always have a number of projects on the go.


Here are Elaine's beautiful creations for our challenge:

Here is some inspiration for you from the DT:

#47 - Elaine

Elaine's dragonfly card stole my heart.  The silver embossing and fabulous coloring surrounded by all that wonderful white space really allowed the dragonfly to pop off the page.   Elaine also managed to incorporate so much texture and interest with the white on white elements that took this creation to another level.  Stunning CAS card.  Congratulations, Elaine.

Congratulations, Elaine.  Here is the badge to post on your blog:

Julia Altermann

"Hello! My name is Julia Altermann from Dresden, Germany.

I work in tech support for a small company in Stuttgart, Germany, that creates an awesome app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. In my time off, I love to create, color, take photos, and travel. I started papercrafting in 2013 and share my creations on My Blog and My YouTube Channel

I love all kinds of styles: clean and simple, layers, using different mediums – but clean and simple is probably my favorite and so I am uber-delighted and happy to have been invited as a Guest Designer here at ATCAS. I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge – I can’t wait to see what you make!"

Love, Julia

Thank you Christine!!

We are very excited to introduce our talented CAS Guest Designer for this challenge 

~ Gemma C.

Hello, my name is Gemma, and I'm a UK blogger from Oxford, England. 

I work in Design and, in my spare time, I enjoy photography and paper crafting. I started making my own handmade cards in 2015, and started My Blog, as a way to share my cards with others.

I really enjoy the process of designing cards, from sketching an idea on paper to creating the finished card. For me, the fun of design is how an idea can evolve and change as I go, and I often end up with something very different to what I expected.

I get so much inspiration from others online, and I hope the cards I share will inspire a few people too.

Thanks again for the opportunity to guest design.

Best wishes,

Gemma
