DCM - All Things Media.

Gillian has set the Dare this week over on the Daring Card Makers Blog, and is inspired by 'All Things Media'.

It's around us no matter which way we turn, and all designed to get our attention. Ads designed by graphic designers who know all the tricks & techniques to draw our eyes to the product in question.

You only have to glance at a Newspaper quickly to read headings with 'Shock' titles & 'Clever' puns all designed to make you want to read what the article is all about!

Maybe you have been inspired by an Ad in a magazine, the colours or design that has been used. Or incorporate actual magazines & newspapers onto your card; maybe chop up letters (ransom note style) to create the sentiment.





I got the inspiration for this card from a magazine ad for a CD I received at Christmas. It didn't turn out quite how I wanted it, but I'm happy with the finished result. Thanks for a great Dare Gillian.

Bitz & Bobz used;
Fancy Pants paper. Rhonna Farrer Flowers and Flourishes Stamps. Happy Birthday by Purple Onion. QK Sunshine Alphabet. Pebbles Inc Pearl Chalks. American Crafts Ribbon.
