Vintage Love - CD Sunday

A new theme for the CD Sunday Challenge and with it being the month of love there could only be one theme! It's Jocelyn's choice and she's gone for Vintage Love. So get your CDs out and look through them for something suitable, it could be an image, a backing paper, a sentiment or a small embellishment. Who's your card going to be for? A partner, a much loved friend, someone who you want to tease or play a trick on? Mine's for my hubby of 39 years. He's really supportive of my crafting and sometime offers me advise if I'm unsure if something looks right.                        

I found instructions for a 'fanfare fold' in Papercraft Inspirations issue 174 and it has several surfaces that can be decorated.

This is the card completed folded:

                                                 

The front of the card.

The second page.

And the last page where the sentiment will be written.

Each page was covered in a plain backing paper that had first had the edges inked and distressed. Then another, floral paper, was layered on top that had also had the edges inked and distressed. Each of the die cuts were cut from backing papers that had been printed onto card. The red die cuts were also stamped before being die cut.

I finished the card off with pink roses and pink pearls.

All dies and stamps are from the Tonic Box Kit magazine number 4. The backing papers are from Serif Craft Artist - All Sewn Up (the two flowery papers), Deco Opulence (the red paper) and Fifties Fever (the pink paper).

Don't forget that the CD Sunday challenge is all about making items using something from craft CD Roms. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp , but you must include something from a CD. So if you like colouring stamped images or digis you can still enter the challenge but you must include something from a CD. In your blog post you must give the name of the CD you've used. This is especially important if the items you've used can be bought as a download as well as a CD as the Design Team can't tell which has been used unless you tell us. Your card can't be considered for a prize if you haven't used a CD or if you haven't told us the name of the CD in your post. The Design Team still leave comments on the blogs but there's no chance of winning if the above hasn't been followed.

We now have a Facebook page if you don't have a blog - The CD Sunday Challenge.

The challenge runs until Saturday 17th February at 1pm.
