Rainbow Lady's Challenge #147

Good morning to you all, hope you are enjoying the sunshine we have had for the last few days.

It's Thursday once again which means it is time for the latest challenge over at

Rainbow Lady

Thanks to you all for joining in last weeks challenge, we enjoyed visiting your blogs and leaving you comments.

Cynthia has chosen a super theme this week entitled

LILAC WINE

and we have the lovely Joanna Sheen as our Sponsor this week.

My DT Card is shown below

I have used a fabulous Die Cut Square from K & Co to make the base of my card, which I matted onto a backing paper sprayed with various colours of Cosmic Shimmers. Must confess this paper was made quite a while ago and stored carefully away, so carefully, I forgot I had made it.

My Wine Bottle is a template, cut out using paper from HOTP Sarabooks - Amethyst Collection, again found whilst searching through all my craft papers.

The tag comes from the same book and I attached a Lilac Butterfly Brad to secure it to the card.

The lovely embellishments are from K & Co Grande Adhesions - Lilac range, I have had these for such a long time so thought it was time to give them an airing.

Do pop over to see what the rest of my lovely 'teamies' have made for this week, some beautiful designs.

Thanks for popping by and I appreciate any comments you leave.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

This week our chosen theme is

SOMEONE SPECIAL

You are in for a treat this week as not only do have have a new Sponsor for this week but also another lovely Guest DT joining us for the month of April.

Our Sponsor for this week is the lovely Linnie, who draws the most fabulous Digi Images. Our DT have been lucky to receive sets to use in our challenge.

The prize for one lucky participant will be some Digi Images of their choice.

Before I show my DT Card for this week, let me introduce Claire, she is joining us at our Guest DT for the month of April.

Now onto my DT Card which you can see below:

I chose this lovely ballerina from one of the sets Linnie kindly gave us. She has been coloured using Promarkers and a little glitter has been added to her skirt.

I cut her out using Nestability Die No 10 and mounted her onto a larger contrasting die.

The main card is lovely Blue Pearlescent from my stash. I then used a beautiful backing paper from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD - the flowers section. My fancy edge was created using a Martha Stewart Deep Edge Punch - Vine and I left a small border to enhance the colour of the card.

My fabulous roses are a recent purchase from the NEC, the link is HERE.

Such a good price, 20 roses for £2.99 and so many to choose from I had to limit myself as to what colours to get.

The rest of my 'teamies' plus Claire have created lovely designs this week, so do pop over and take a look.

As always, we ask that you use something from a CD in your design and say which it is you have used. We are finding quite a few new CD's from you, so thanks for telling us about them.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and I appreciate any comments you leave.
