CD Sunday - G is for ..........

Hello and Welcome

My youngest daughter is 18 soon, so this means that lots of her friends are having their 18th birthdays' too.  Her friends all look forward to getting a handmade card which I think is lovely.  One of her friends is 18 today.  He is studying art at college and this is the card I have created for him:

I used the Fabulous Fella's cd-rom from Katy Sue Designs to create the card.  I created the decoupaged section first which I added to the front of a 7 x 10 inch card from Creative Crafting World.  I added acetate to the shop front section of the card to give it extra strength and hand wrote the name as I couldn't find my alphabet stamp set!  I die-cut the number 18 using Memory Box dies.

This card is for the current CD Sunday Challenge which is G is for .... which in this case is of course Gallery.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think of my card (good or bad).  I'll then also be able to visit your blog to see your creations.

CD Sunday Challenge - Second Entry

Good Afternoon

This card is my second entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which is Cool Colours:

I have combined lots of different crafting to make this card.  I've used backing paper from SWALK papercrafting cd-rom from Crafters' Companion, dies to cut the fancy shapes, rubber stamping, water colouring and I've added lace and pearls as additional embellishments.  I even distressed the edges of the paper and then went round the edges with some Tim Holt distress ink!

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the gorgeous samples created by the lovely team.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy 80th Birthday

Hello and Welcome

A new challenge has started over at the CD Sunday Challenge Blog and the challenge theme is 'Cool Colours'.

I've been asked to make a card for a friends' mum's 80th birthday with a theme of penguins.  This, I think,fits in perfectly with the challenge.  Here is my card.

I used a square card from Creative Crafting World and matted Ice blue cardstock. I then die-cut a Sue Wilson die from pearlescent white card.  I printed the twisted decoupage image onto glossy photo paper.  The image is by Pollyanna Pickering and is from Creative Crafting World.

I die cut a label using a Spellbinders label die and added a Happy Birthday peel-off.  The number 80's in the corners are also peel-offs.

Thanks for visiting.  Please leave a comment so I know that you've been and I can then visit your blog too.

CD Sunday Challenge - Let's Go Fishing

Hello

This is my entry into the latest challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which has a theme of 'Let's Go Fishing'.  I don't know any fishermen to send cards to, so my card is a slightly different take on the theme which I hope fits with the challenge acceptably.

This decoupage image is from Crafters Companion, teamed with Couture Creations dies and a rubber stamped sentiment from Lili of the Valley.

The paper and insert are from Creative Crafting Worlds Pollyanna Pickering The Story So Far cd-rom.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
