Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I've had a lovely leisurely time crafting today. I've had a rotten week health wise so it was nice to spend some time doing something I enjoy. It was about all I had the energy for!
This is my entry into the current challenge at CD Sunday Challenge which is 'add a button or buttons':
Do pop across and visit the challenge blog. It's a great way of encouraging you to use your cd's and you're always guaranteed a warm welcome.
I know it's a little bit late to be making a calendar but I needed to make a thank you card for my brother-in-law who lives in the Highlands so decided to turn it into a calendar instead!
I used elements from the Tweedies cd-rom and papercraft kit from Crafters Companion. The Calendar is sat on a mat created using a Spellbinders Belly Band die. The branches and flowers are made using a combination of Crafters Companion and Marianne dies, finished in the centres with some gorgeous gems that I got some time ago from Joanna Sheen.
I die cut the buttons using Tattered lace dies and then triple-embossed them using extra thick embossing powder. I threaded some embroidery thread through each one.
The tag was another of the elements from the cd rom. The 'With Love' sentiment was die cut twice using a Tattered Lace die and layered to create a shadow effect.
Have a lovely weekend.
