CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning fellow bloggers, hope you have recovered from Bonfire Night Party's. We had a lot going off around us last night and I am sure tomorrow night will be the same.

As it is the first Sunday of November for us at CD SUNDAY, we have a new Sponsor for this week - CAROLINE who owns a fabulous site and does all her own artwork which she sells as Digi Kits.

Her kits are fantastic value, each kit comprises of Papers, Silhoutte Frames, Matting Papers plus other items to embellish your design.

Caroline has just produced a few Christmas Themed Kits, so do pop along to her site to see for yourself what good value they are.

She gave all the DT's their own kit to play with and I have had such fun making my card for this week.

Caroline is offering one of her Digi Kits as a prize for one lucky participant.

We also have a new Guest Designer for the month of November, so please welcome SUE to our team. Sue has been taking part in our challenges for some time and she impressed all the DT with her entries so we decided to ask her to join us. Fortunately for us, she agreed.

Now onto my card which you can see below.

RECIPE

6 x 6 Scalloped Card

The main backing paper is from Essence of Nature CD - Glenda Waterworth - now Chocolate Baroque

The second layer is also from the same CD.

For my 'topper' I used one of the beautiful papers from Carolines Sunset Silhouttes Digi Kit.

I used Craft Artist to import the paper and then added different elements from the same kit. Using Craft Artist to make my card is a 'First' and I really enjoyed importing the elements and playing around to achieve the finished card.

I used a total of 7 different elements from the Digi Kit in creating my design.

4 Black Gems have been added as a finishing touch.

We hope you will join us again this week, remember you must use 'something' from a CD in your design and say which CD you have used. Unfortunately any entries we receive which don't use a CD will not be elligable for the prize draw.

Do take a look at my teamies designs, fabulous as always.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well, more to the point, hope Mr Blogger is to.
I am hoping that my scheduled post will work after all the trouble he has caused this week.
On to this weeks challenge over at CD SUNDAY
You have a choice as we the DT's couldn't decide on a theme and it ended up a tie.
So, your choices are
DIE CUTTING or YEEHAW
We still have the lovely Jen as our Guest Designer and I am sure she will have come up trumps again this week.
Onto my DT Card for this week, I chose Die Cutting and it is shown below

RECIPE:

8 x 8 Scalloped Card Blank (this is a first for me as I don't usually 'do' large cards)
Grand Nestie Labels 1
Paper from 'Essence of Nature' CD - Glenda Waterworth -Artylicious, now Chocolate Baroque
Lacy Square Nestie Die, using a different part of the same paper.
Marianne Creatables Die - LR0138 - paper from my stash
Marianne Creatables Die - LR0151 - navy card from my stash
Navy flower using a punch from my stash.

I was unsure if to distress the edges of the white card but decided I liked it as it was.

Do pop over to see the fabulous designs from my 'Teamies' and we hope you will join in with us as we love to visit your blogs and leave comments.
All we ask, is that you use something from a CD and say which CD you have used.

Here's hoping Mr Blogger posts this.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning to all my blogging friends, Sunday is here again which means it is time for the latest challenge over on CD SUNDAY

Our chosen theme this week is:

STAMP ON YOUR CD

Remember, all we require of you, is to use something from a CD, be it a little scrap of paper or image and post which CD you have used.

RECIPE:

Backing Paper for card and tag are from - Essence of Nature CD

I overstamped with 'Agapanthus Cluster & Agapanthus Long' stamps from The Stampman using Versafine Vintage Sepia Ink.

For my flowers I used 'Butterfly Daisy Collage' stamps from Graphicus

These have been coloured using various shades of Copics before adding Glossy Accents.

Brads from my stash are attached to the centre of the flowers.

My finishing touch is a beautiful butterfly made using a Nestabilitie Die which has been embossed using my Cuttlebug. For extra dimension it has been distressed, using Adirondack Inks and Glossy Accents give it a little highlight.

We hope you will join in with us again this week and please pop over to see the gorgeous cards our DT's have made.
