CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE

This week's CD Sunday Challenge is...Die Cutting

As I missed last weeks challenge (Oriental) I've made a card using both topics!

The main image and paper are from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams.

The die cut is one of my new Cut-Outs...Corner Diamond 1. I cut it from black card, scanned the diamond part into computer and created a template from it. I then imported the CD image and placed the template ( making it a bit smaller) over it, adjusting the size until it 'looked right'.

The corners were put through a cuttlebug Eastern embossing folder. I then sponged the four corners with Glacier Blue Opalite ink and embossed with several layers of clear powder to create the lacquered effect. The pieces were layered over the paper and mounted on to the card.

Embellished with gems and pearls.

NEW DRAGONFLY STAMPS

I decidied to try Sheena Douglass's Paint Fusion technique with my new Heartistic Dragonfly stamps.

I crackled the large Scalloped Circle Mountboard Cut-Out and stamped 3 of the dragonflies with grey ink.

Then painted the wings and bodies. The whole circle was sprayed with a glitter spray from Crafter's Companion.

NEW MOUNTBOARD SHAPE

We have a new mountboard shape in the Garden Pack of Cut-Outs...a large Watering Can.

Here's what it looks like decorated with a poppy from Sheen Douglass's set of Paint Fusion stamps.

The watering can was painted with 2 coats of black acrylic paint, stamped with Sheena's poppy stamp and leaves, and then painted using her Paint Fusion technique. A layer of Distress Crackle finished it off.



CD SUNDAY

It is the CD Sunday Challenge's birthday this week and the challenge is...a Birthday card.

Here is my entry

The backing papers are from Peerless Designs Floral Elegance...lovely pinks and greens.

The card itself is from Hunkydory.

The birthday circle is one of my digistamps and the border is one of Martha Stewarts punches...there is glitter glue on the pansies but it hasn't photographed well.

The butterflies are from CaroLines...stamped on the printing side of acetate with Brilliance ink and then glitter glued.
