CD Sunday - Add A Number

Time again for another new challenge over on the CD Sunday blog, and this week it's Jocelyn's turn to pick the theme. She's gone for Add A Number, so all you need to do is make sure that whatever you make has  number on it. We still have Linby with us as guest designer this month, She and the rest of the design team have made some great cards for your inspiration for you. Do pop over to the challenge blog and take a look, why not even join in.

My card is and 8x8 white card base, with pale pink centura pearl card used for matting, the frame and the corners. I used Crafters Companion Flower Fairies CD for my card, and the beautiful Rose fairy, which is decoupaged, the backing paper is from the same CD and matches the topper. I used the Cricut and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the letters, and finished by adding some pink flat backed pearls.

Thank you for taking the time to look, and your, kind comments which are always appreciated.

CD Sunday - Transportation

Can you believe it's August already? I'm finding it hard. As it's the first Sunday of the month, over at CD Sunday we have a sponsor, and this month it's Linby, who regularly takes part in our challenges. She has very kindly donated Debbi Moores Mechanical CD. Which leads us onto the theme this week, which is Transportation, and what better Guest Designer to have for the month of August than Linby herself. For my card I've used Joanna Sheen's Times Gone By, and this lovely image of a steam locomotive. I started by taking an A4 piece of brown card stock and folded it down to make the back of it square. With some rust card for matting, I printed off the backing paper and divided it between the front and inside (including the bit that shows). The topper is decoupaged, and the sentiment added from the same sheet as the decoupage came from. I added a verse to the inside of the card and some spellbinders cogs to embellish down the side of the card. Do pop over to the challenge blog and see the lovely card that my teamies have made as inspiration for you.

Thanks for taking the time to look, and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

From The Cat Walk

I love decoupage, so when the new CD from Katy-Sue Designs dropped onto my doormat I had to print some off and get cutting. It was while putting this one together I realised that I could enter this into My Craft Creations current challenge, which is Spots and Stripes. The stripes coming from the backing paper and the spots from the dress and the card candy used on the corners. There are some gorgeous designs on this CD, and they make fantastic girly cards for all ages. I used an A5 white card base for this card and teamed it with some Burgundy card for the matting. After putting the backing paper onto the Burgundy card I added some Burgundy ribbon across the card. The decoupage was put together with glue gel, then mounted onto the card with foam tape. Finally I added some card candy to the corners. The sentiment I will leave until later when I know who I am sending the card to.

Thanks for taking the time to look, and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
