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.

TIO CHALLENGE 35

I really must get organised as this is my Tag for Frankie's TIO Challenge this week. Today is the last day for this weeks challenge, so only just made it.

The background has been done using Alcohol Inks (not sure which colours now). I then stamped using Cosmic Shimmer Powder - Metallic Gold for the swirls and Viola Aura Black for the flowers.
The stamps were from Artylicious & Personal Impressions.

I promise I will be more organised for Frankie's next challenge.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

HERE IS MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010

It fits nicely with two of my favourite challenges, firstly, Craftyann
and secondly, Cynthia

My card base is 5.25 x 5.25 to which I added paper from my stash.
The two stamped images are:
Just for You from Papermania
Swirls & Flourishes Set 1 from Personal Impressions.
Both stamped using Oregano Distress Ink from Ranger

The background of the flower is a piece of glossy card which I covered with Ranger Alcohol Inks, Pesto, Cranberry & Caramel.
This was then put through my Cuttlebug using my Stylized Flowers Embossing Folder.

Both sets of stamps are new and the Alcohol Inks were a christmas present from my sister. I am now hooked on these inks so I will be adding to my collection

I hope that my card is acceptable for both challenges.
