CD SUNDAY - DREAMS & DRAGONS

Good morning to you all on what seems to be the start of another beautiful sunny day.

We are really doing well with the wall to wall sunshine, I am loving it but guess that is because I got used to it whilst I was spending the winter in Spain.

Another week has flown by and so good to see your designs for last weeks challenge, I hope you felt cooler while you were busy making them.

Time for another challenge from us at CD SUNDAY and this week is the turn of

SUE T to choose the theme, which is

DREAMS & DRAGONS

Our lovely TESS continues as our July Guest Designer and as always she has created something special for you this week.

You can see my DT Card Below

RECIPE

White 8 x 8 Scalloped Card for the base.

The backing paper and image are both from Joanna Sheen's - ENCHANTED DREAMS CD

This is one of my all time favourite CD's, each time I use it I see something on there I haven't noticed before. 

The backing paper is printed directly onto 160 gsm paper which I have managed to obtain from Staples and for the image, I chose Digital Pearl Card which I purchased from Craftwork Cards.

The image has been matted onto Centura Pearl Cardstock which I had put through my Big Shot using the Tied Together Embossing Folder.

A few 'Delicate Aster Die Cuts' have been added as embellishments and the centre's of the flowers are Card Candi.

Someone I know has just purchased the matching stamps and she has told me they are gorgeous. I am waiting until I go to the Craft Festival to get mine.

I do hope you will join in with us again, remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which it is you have used, (we may need to add it to our collection)

Do pop over to see the stunning creations from my fellow team mates, you won't be disapointed.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning and welcome to our latest challenge at CD SUNDAY

This week we are asking you to think - NEW YEAR, NEW TO YOU

For my DT Card this week I chose a beautiful image from Enchanted Dreams CD from Joanna Sheen

I have heard so many positive comments on this particular CD and I have to say I agree with everything I have heard. This really is the best CD yet from Joanna. So pleased it 'fell' into my basket earlier this week.

I printed the backing paper onto Cream Pearlised Card and the gorgeous topper on Glossy Photo Paper. Of course, I had to choose an image depicting butterflies, so as soon as I saw this I knew this was for me.

I attached a ribbon border edge from what little stash I have and decided to go with the butterfly theme and added a sparkly embellishment to complement.

I received good news today concerning my Craft Stuff, some of you may know that we had planned to spend the winter in Spain, however we had an accident travelling through France on day 1, the end result being our Caravan is no more. Of course all my things were inside and today we heard that the caravan is coming back to Southend on Tuesday. All we have to do is hire a van to collect everything, so this time next week I should have it all home. Yipee.

Thankyou for your entries this week, we really enjoyed seeing your creations and leaving you comments. So pleased to see a couple of new faces joining in with us.

One of you will be the lucky winner of a £10 Voucher to spend at Bearly Mine, so do check our blog to see if it is you.

The DT's have excelled this week, everyone of us has used something 'NEW', so without delay check us out.
