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:
Just Inspirational Challenge - Anything Goes (ends 19th May)
Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge - Anything goes (ends 26th May)
Top Tip Tuesday - Here Comes The Summer (ends 27th May)
Come and Get It - Birthdays (ends 16th May)
Thanks for visiting my blog today.
