CD Sunday Challenge - Anything goes #99




Hi,

Almost Christmas and this is nearly to the end of our challenges for this year,   This challenge is anything goes as long as it’s from a CD, USB or digital material.  For this challenge the host is Jocelyn

For my card this fortnight I have used Victorian Christmas CD by Joanna Sheen,  I used three of the images on the sheet, two small in each corner and the larger one on the middle, matted onto silver Miri card by Hunkydory,  and the poinsettia flowers I have decoupaged,  the backing paper is the paper belonging to the image.  I finished off the card with red ribbon 

CD Sunday Plus challenge has a Facebook page for those who would like to enter the challenge and do not have a blog,   here is a link to the page

 

I hope you will visit the CD Sunday Plus Challenge site, and remember if you want to enter the challenge you must use something from a CD, USB or digital material no matter how small and let us know where and what you used the material from,   and that it is a card or a project.    Here is a link to CD Sunday Plus Challenge blog  we would be pleased to see you.

Endrucks 1920 November event Angel and bell


Hi,
I have been doing some more work on the Endrucks 1920 project on Facebook, this time I designed from the heart pattern, an Angel.  This Angel has been part of November event for November with tatters all over the world,  we’re the pattern given in four parts over a week,  but they had no idea what it would end up as.   When Muskaan made my Angel she turned it upside down and found a bell,  
This is a copy of what Muskaan wrote about the Angel on Facebook 


“” Let’s all extend a Huge Thanks to Margaret Davies for so kindly sharing her Endrucks’ Angel (and Bell) pattern for our #tagmeEndrucks event this month. We know many of you have enjoyed playing the game and will hopefully tat a few more versions for decorations or gifts.

Margaret also shares her Enlarged Heart pattern with us!

This is a good instance of how one pattern (and designer) builds on another – from Endrucks’ doily pattern #37 was derived the Eye Spy Hearts #2 (by me) which was enlarged by Margaret and then enlarged further for the angel. While testing the angel, when I flipped it over, voilà there was a bell!!!

Keep E tatting 💖💖💖””

Thank you Muskaan for those kind words I hope you don’t mind me sharing your words,  I am so delighted my Angel has proved a big hit,

Happy tatting 
Margaret

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.
