CD Sunday Challenge - anything goes #173th - Updated

 Hi,

This is my last card for CD  Sunday challenge,  I am leaving the group as from the 31st December,  really us due to ill health,  I have been struggling for some time trying to keep up with making cards to a schedule,  not all ways easy.  I will continue to make cards but I can take my time and do other challenges if I see any I fancy,  I have several other things I want and need to do which I have put to one side for a long time.  Don’t worry I am not giving up my blog but you may not see me as much.  This on top of my hubby having his cataract  operations. which he has just has his second op,  he can’t bend, lift, carry, hoover, and timed drops.  No it’s not easy, but hopefully next year things might improve.

Please see update at the bottom of the page 

This challenge is the last one this year for CD Sunday Challenge  and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn 

My card is  download from Opulence by design  the image is called Anna,  and the backing paper and flowers are from the Frosty Flower Kit.   When I printed out the kit,  I put the parchment paper in the printer but it decided to put the backing paper first,  then the flowers on ordinary paper.  So I ended up printing the flowers again on parchment paper,  fussy cutting and then embossing them.  The parchment backing paper I used as the backing for the card,  not going to waste it,    I matted the image and the sentiment on the glitter card,  cutting out the foliage also in the same card,  cut out the snowflake border and snowflakes on white card,  adding a handmade bow and ribbon in the spray from stash,  phew that sounds a lot when you write it all down.

Update

This is from CD Sunday challenge page today,  I wish to thank the team for this lovely piece on their blog today.

 This is our last challenge for the year and it’s also Margaret’s last challenge as she’s stepping down from the team. Margaret and I joined the team at the same time – way back in May 2016. I don’t recall Margaret ever missing a challenge which is some achievement over nine and a half years! Margaret's contribution to the challenge will be missed by the whole team.

CD Sunday Challenge - #5 - AnythIng Goes using something from a Craft CD

Hi,
Time for another challenge at the CD Sunday Challenge blog,  this time it is me who is hosting the challenge and we have another anything goes.

I am very fond of Elephants so for this card I used an image and backing paper from Jane Netley Mayhew Collection Cd by Joanna Sheen.  I matted the images on green card and staggered the images down the card,   The green grass die is actually from Winter Wonderland Seasonal Sprigs by Crafters Companion,  I thought this die looked like the grass lands where the elephants live.   I finished off the card with a silver happy birthday peel off.
