Good morning to you all, I hope there isn't too much rain where you live. It is a typical Bank Holiday so more reason to join us at CD SUNDAY for our latest challenge.

We have a new Guest Designer joining us for the month of May, so a warm welcome to SUE-B

Sue has been supporting us for quite a while and us, the DT's have been impressed with her work so we decided to offer her a Guest spot.

Our challenge for this week is:

and my design is shown below.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning and a warm welcome to my blogging friends.

Sunday is here again so it is time for our latest challenge over at CD SUNDAY

LAVENDER & LACE




For my DT Card I chose My Craft Studio - Tattered Lace CD
This is the first time I have used MCS and I am slowly learning all the features within the CD's.

The image has been printed onto Parchment and a 2 needle tool gives a fancy edge.
It has been backed onto matching Lilac Pearlised Card
3 Gorgeous Flowers and 2 strings of Pearls give it a beautiful finishing touch.


We hope you have time to create with us this week, remember all we ask is that you use something from a CD and say which you have chosen.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning all my blogging friends.
Time for another challenge from
CD SUNDAY

Our chosen theme this week is:
MUSIC & MOVEMENT

For my card this week I chose to make a 'Springy Card' as this fits the challenge of Movement.
I covered the base card with fabulous Music paper from CRAFTY INDIVIDUALS - the range being Background Papers Book 1
I love the different tones of this paper and along with lots of Music Notes it also has a couple of songs running through the music.

My beautiful topper shows two people dancing 'The Gavotte' - this is from JOANNA SHEEN'S CD - The ATC Assistant.
As there are so many beautiful images on this CD it is worth having it in your Craft Stash.
I printed the topper onto Pearlescent Card, trimmed the edges with fancy scissors before adding 'Lettuce' Distress Inks.
The flower is from my stash with a tiny Brad attached to the centre.

I have enjoyed making this type of card for a change.

Do pop over to see all the gorgeous cards our DT's have made for this week.

We would love to see you joining in with us, our rules are simple, a small piece of backing paper or a topper from a CD is all we require. Please mention the CD you use when linking back to our blog.

We are thrilled that so many of you joined in last week, it was super to see all your creations.

Keep watching this space as we have something exciting happening, starting in September.

FORUM SWAP CARD

Here is my card swap for a Forum Friend. I know she has received it so it's safe to post now.
The swap theme was SCRIPT

I took a blank dark blue card and embossed it using a Script folder & Cuttlebug.
The stamp is a new one from Artemio and this is the first time it was used. I stamped it onto card which I had made using my new Ink Dusters and Distress Inks.
I embossed a heart using the same folder, added flowers from my stash in matching tones of blue, a delicate bow and two flower brads completed my card.

RAINBOW LADY CHALLENGE 110 - ART DECO

Almost out of time for this weeks challenge over at Cynthia's challenge blog.

Cynthia's challenge for this week which closes tonight is
ART DECO

Recipe for my card:

Backing Paper & Topper from Debbi Moore CD - Glamour & Glitz
Lilac Pearlised Card which has been punched using Garden Trellis Punch by Martha Stewart and bought from Joanna Sheen
Hydrangea Flowers from my stash which I attached to a contrasting card which I had cut out using Nestabilities Labels.
Added a few gems and glitter to my topper for a little sparkle.

I hope this fits the challenge that Cynthia set this week.

Apologies for the image quality as I used my scanner

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE NO 8

Good morning to my crafting friends, Sunday is here again which means another challenge over at CD SUNDAY
The theme for this weeks challenge is
GIRL POWER and here is my DT card for this week



We hope you will join in with us this week and look forward to seeing your interpretation of the theme.

I covered my 5 x 7 card with gorgeous backing papers from the Glitter & Glitz Magic Moments CD

My image is a Digi Stamp from BUGABOO STAMPS which I found whilst searching the net. Do take a look at Jodie's shop, it is well worth a visit.
I used Promarkers to colour my 'Shopaholic' Lady and layered her onto a contrasting backing paper from the same CD.
The sentiment is part of the design set and I think it is very apt and made me smile.
Flowers & Ric Rac Ribbon complete my card.

Do pop over to see the lovely creations from our DT's this week.
We hope you will join in with us and look forward to commenting on your blogs.

Second Parchment Card Design

This is the second card which we just had time to complete in our 3 Hour Class on Monday. This time we used a Pergamano Wave Tool for the fancy circles, a 2 Needle Tool for the edge and a Flower Tool for a little decoration, top left. The paper is again from K&Co Wild Saffron Butterfly Swirl range, as are the embellishments. A white lace peel off was added to the square cut out, just to finish the card off. All materials supplied by our Pergamano Tutor were from Personal Impressions. They are wholesale only but I have found other stockists using Google.
