CD Sunday challenge, - anything goes # 97


Hi,

Here we are at the end of October,  I hope everyone has a lovely Halloween,  I have not made a Halloween card for this challenge as \i have no one to send it to,  so for this challenge I have made a christmas card,  I am so behind with christmas cards,  This fortnight the host is Jo,  and as usually its anything goes as long as it from a CD, USB or digital material.

For my card I used a recycled topper which I re cut into the shape of a bubble,  matted it onto a backing sheet,  from the CD Magical christmas moments by Cupcake crafting,  added some die cut snowflakes from the snowflake die by Chloe. and a white bow of ribbon

jacaranda Motif Cross




 Hi,  

At last I have finished this large cross,  I started it on holiday as we were staying in a Hotel called Jacaranda, in Tenerife,  we both came home ill with Covid, we are getting better but it’s been a long upward journey,   The holiday was booked 2019, carried forward from 2020 to 2021, and again 2021 to 2022.  Our journey home was eventful too with a delay of seven and half hours,  because the plane broke down in Bristol,  they had to go to Manchester to get another plane and then fly to Tenerife,  Bristol must be the worse airport with a lack of staff,  we waited one and half hours for the luggage when just 20 cases arrived,  of course none of them were ours,  so we had to wait longer for ours,  having left the hotel at 8.45 am we eventually arrived home at 2am the next day,

 The  name Jacaranda is actually a tree that has blue flowers,  I used Lizbeth thread no 20 in Blue ice and Peacock blues thread. The pattern is by Lilliantatlace,  here is a link to her Blog,  she also has a nice free pattern for  oak leaves too.

CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes # 95


 Hi,

Time for another challenge at the CD Sunday,  as always its anything goes, as long as its from a CD, USB or digital material and the host this fortnight is Carol.

For my card this fortnight I thought I would shape the top of the card into a round shape,  I used the backing paper and image form the Roses CD by Robert Addams.    I wanted to do something different as this is for a wedding anniversary,  I embossed a white card, and then cut the heart shape out,  but even my largest heart shape was too small for the image so I cut the heart into half and placed half above the roses image and the other half at the bottom.  I decoupaged the rose and then glittered it unfortunately the glitter does not show up in the picture.  I added the ribbon bow and the peel offs

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything goes # 94


 Hi,

At the moment I am in Tenerife,  so this is a scheduled post,  its time for another challenge at CD Sunday and this fortnight it is Jocelyn who is the host.

For my card I did a fold back card,  using another free image from Debbi Moore website,  this is called roses,  I used the backing sheet from the image,  matted the image onto pink miri card from Hunkydory,  decoupaged the image with the roses,  the butterflies were included with the image,  and added a hand made bow of ribbon,  with glitter peel offs around the sides.
