CD Sunday Challenge - One For The Boys

Good Morning

The current challenge over at CD Sunday is 'One For The Boys'.  I needed to make a birthday card for my brother-in-law and used Joanna Sheen's Tom Mielko cd to make this card:

I printed off the decoupage onto glossy photo paper and the backing paper onto super smooth.  I used red card from Papermill for matting.  I didn't want to over-embellish the card and distract from the beautiful image, so I simply added a Yacht charm to the corner of the card using bakers twine.

CD Sunday Challenge - Victorian Beauties

The latest challenge set by the ladies over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog is Victorian Beauties.  I recently purchased Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion triple cd set from ebay, and immediately turned to this cd set to make my card:

The main image was printed onto Glossy photo paper and matted onto black linen effect card. I printed 2 backing papers from the same cd's onto super smooth paper.  I matted the beige onto the same black card and cut a strip from the teal to put across the card.  Then, from the same paper, I cut a bow, 2 butterflies (using a tonic die) and the Happy Birthday Sentiment (using Tattered Lace sentiment dies).  Finally I added a pearl to the centre of the bow.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Sunshine and Showers

Hello

Can you believe yet another month has flown by and it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge.  This month we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and our theme is Sunshine and Showers.

Here is my card:

I've used the Robyns Fetish image My Spring Garden which I printed onto Neenah card and coloured using Coloursoft pencils blended with baby oil.  I cut around the image using Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 and used another die from the same set to cut the blue frame.  The backing paper is from Crafter's Companion Annabel and Adam range and I used a Spellbinders embossing folder on the blue card.  I used  Memory box Riviera corner die on green pearlescent paper.  I used a free die from one of my cardmaking magazines to create some foliage and a combination of floral dies to create the flowers.  Pearls from my stash were added to the flower centres.

I also decorated the inside of my card to match the front:

I do hope you are able to join in our challenge this month and that you will visit my fellow design team members to see their gorgeous creations.

For Someone Special

Good Morning

The current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge is to make a card for Someone Special.  This is the card I made for my sister's birthday:

I used some photos of my sister when she was around 2 - 3 years old and placed them in frames created using Martha Stewarts' paper clay.  I used a spellbinders die to cut the mats for the photos to sit on.

I cut the large squares of card from white and purple pearlescent card and layered them up.  Pearl hearts from my stash were added to each corner.  I cut four corners using a Joy corner die (which I trimmed a bit off to make fit better) and die cut some flowers using a Cheery Lynn die, pearls were then placed in the centres of the flowers.  The backing paper is from CardCreations Plus Flowers In Bloom cd-rom.  The sentiment was cut from the purple pearlescent card using Tattered Lace sentiment dies.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:
