Shabby Chic with Sue-B

Welcome to you all but before I tell you about our challenge this time, we the Design Team at CD Sunday had some very sad news as we learnt of the death of a former member and good friend 

Wendy, know to you as Crafting Purple Carzy.

 We send our condolences to Wendy's family and friends

Our challenge for you this week has been chosen by

Sue-B and her choice is

SHABBY CHIC

and this is my Design Team Card below

I chose to use a white 6x6 Scalloped Card for my base.

My lovely backing paper came from a Debbi Moore CD - Shabby Chic Paper Delights

I love this particular paper as it looks as though you have added panels to the side.

A strip of Pink Cotton Lace is attached the the left hand side and a few Pink Gems dotted in the centre of the lace.

My die cut is from my stash out here in Spain along with the lovely Satin Rose, Button 'Love' Embellishment and 'For You' flower topper.

I hope you will join in with us as we love to see your creations and leave comments on your blogs.

Please remember to use something from a CD in your design and let us know what you have used.

Take a moment to visit my fellow team mate's blog to learn what they used in creating their designs.

One more challenge before I am back home and I have lots of new things to play with.

See you in two weeks

SIMPLY SQUARE AT CD SUNDAY

Good morning to you all, I am hoping that Blogger behaves as my post this week is scheduled.

Another week, so another challenge from us at CD SUNDAY

I will be on my way to warmer climes for the Winter from today and I won't be able to check the post until later this evening.

Thanks for all your entries in our challenge last week, not so many of you but I have enjoyed visiting and leaving comments on your blogs.

This week it is Jenny's turn to choose and I know this will suit you all.

Jenny has chosen

SIMPLY SQUARE

so dig out those CD's and join in with us.

My DT Card is below

RECIPE

Cream Square card for the base.

The backing paper and this beautiful image is from one of my new CD's

Debbi Moore - Shabby Chic Vintage Rose Papercrafting Inspirational CD.

The image has been printed onto Matte Photo Paper.

I decided to use something that has been sitting on my desk for a while to put under the topper.

This is black card to which I embossed using Perfect Medium and one of the lovely masks from 

Ali Reeve - which is a Vine design. I covered the embossing with Mica powders for detail.

I finished off the design with a 'hand made' bow, not something I am good at but decided it was time I practiced.

I hope you will join in with us again, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used.

Take a moment to visit my fellow teamie's blog as they have beautiful creations to share with you.

I am also pleased to say that Wendy is back with us once more.

CD SUNDAY - WEDDINGS

Good morning to you all , I hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday.

I am still out in Spain and the weather here is super so I hope it is the same back home.

Another week has flown by which means time for our latest challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

Thank you for your stunning entries for Purple Paradise, a popular choice and I know Wendy will find it difficult to choose her TOP 3.

As it is the start of a new month we have a new Guest Designer joining us and we were thrilled when GLORIA accepted our invitation.

I have met her just the once at Port Sunlight and she is a lovely lady.

Our newest team member - Sue T has chosen your theme this week and it is fitting as Gloria 'tied the knot' herself on April 25th. Congratulations to you both

Here is my DT Card

I chose yet another 6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank for the base of my design.

Using my beautiful ANJA DIES - LR0242  I cut out a couple of mats to showcase the main element of my card.

The papers and the lovely image of the Wedding Couple are from

Debbi Moore's Wedding Stationery CD.

They are all printed onto Glossy Photo Paper and I carefully cut out the embellishments from the same section of the CD to add to my design.

I hope you will join in with us this week as we love to see your designs and leave you comments.

For me, this is the best part of being a DT member.

Remember to use something from a CD in your design and say which it is you have used.

Do take a look at my fellow 'teamies' creations, they are stunning as always.

RECIPE

5 x7 Card Blank

Main backing paper is from the Paint Fusion CD - Sheena Douglass

My choice of Blue Spotty paper is from Shabby Chic Vintage Collection CD - Debbi Moore

Using a Pink/Beige Pearlescent Metallic Card I cut out a die shape using Labels 10.

The image, (WOJ Stamp - Willow with Umbrella) is cut using a smaller die from Labels 10 and has been coloured using Promarkers.

My thanks to a fellow teamie for this beautiful image.

I added a couple of strips across the card for dimension and a little Card Candi to complete my design.
