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:

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.
