CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

Good morning fellow bloggers and welcome to this weeks challenge over at

CD SUNDAY

We loved seeing your Halloween entries last week, not quite so many so I guess a few of you are like me and not 'into' Halloween. It is good to work outside our 'comfort' zone from time to time.

Sadly this is PAMELA's last week with us as Guest Designer. She has made fabulous creations each week and we will miss her, however, I am sure she will persuaded to come back in the New Year. Thankyou Pamela, you have been an inspiration to everyone.

Now for this week's challenge which is

PUSS CAT

My contribution for this week is shown below

RECIPE

A4 Card from my stash

Backing Paper & Images taken from - IVORY CATS CD1 - Joanna Sheen

Martha Stewart Deep Edge Ribbon Punch

Dark Green Satin Ribbon from my Ribbon Box threaded through the Punch and also attached to the top of the card for contrast.

Gold Card Candi.

We look forward to seeing and commenting on your entries again this week, this is the best part of being on the DT.

Remember, all we ask is for you to use something from a CD and say which you have used.

Do pop over to see my fellow teamies designs, you won't be disapointed.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

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

CD SUNDAY

Thanks for your entries in last weeks challenge, we enjoyed visiting your blogs.

We half way through the month of June and we still have the lovely Jocelyn as Guest Design Team member. She has done us proud so please pop over to her blog and show your support.

Our challenge this week is

TASSEL TIME

and my DT card is shown below.

I used Joanna Sheen's - Elegant Fans CD and printed the matching backing papers for the topper onto Pearlescent card from my stash.

A border has been punched using a Martha Stewart punch - Vine Leaves.

Careful scoring using, of course, my Hougie to show both of the backing paper designs.

My beautiful topper has been printed onto Glossy Photo Paper and a couple of Die Cut Flourishes from Tim Holtz are added.

I chose to add a Burgundy Tassel attached to the topper with a matching Brad.

A few holographic gems complete the card.

We hope you will join us this week, just remember our rule - use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.

Do pop over to our blog to see the rest of my teamies contributions, gorgeous as always.

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.

Challenge 36 at Crafty Ann's

This is a first for me, 2 challenge cards in 1 day.
I am trying to enter a few more of my blogging friends challenges and this one is for
Crafty Ann's challenge this week, which is
Sketch or Spring or combine both
Here is my card


RECIPE:

6 x 6 Scalloped Card Blank
Backing Paper - Mottled Stone Collection 1 from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop
Shapeabilities Pendants Die - Fleur De Lis & Lotus
Silkies in shades of Pink Lace, Blue Brocade & Sunset Satin
Martha Stewart Deep Edge Punch
Gems
Fabric Rose

I put a few drops of the silkies onto my craft mat, spritzed with water then swooshed a piece of Glossy Card over the mat to pick up the colour.
Once this had dried I used the Fleur De Lis Die to cut out the shape.
The centres are from the Lotus Die to which I have added a fabric rose.
Pink gems and a few punched flowers complete my card.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog and I appreciate any comments you may wish to leave.
