In The Wild - CD Sunday

Jane has picked the next theme for the CD Sunday Challenge - In The Wild. I love most animals and have several CDs that have pictures of wild animals but I was totally stumped as to what to make for this theme. So I sat at my PC and just loaded CDs and looked through them for ideas. When I came to a Creative Crafting World CD by Pollyanna Pickering there was an image of a pheasant printed on the front of the disc. I belong to a birthday swap and the next birthday on the list is someone who has a pheasant who visits her garden regularly so I thought I'd try and combine the two tasks. The CD is called Sketch Book Collection - Chapter IV Woodland Birds.
I looked through the CD and came across a topper that was designed to look like mats and layers had already been added. So I printed off the topper plus 2 sheets of backing papers that were the same as the ones on the topper. At this point I still had no idea of the style of card I was going to make so left the sheets on my desk. When I came back to my desk I saw the sheets lying on top of each other and inspiration struck! This is what I came up with:


The topper ends at the plain green border everything else is made from the backing papers layered onto white card.

I cut the band across the middle to be the exact size as the one across the middle of the topper.


I finished the card with a sentiment from the same CD, some gold pearls and I also dotted Tonic Nuvo drops in the centre of every flower on the dark trellis paper.
I used one of the papers to decorate the insert.



Don't forget that the CD Sunday Challenge is all about making items using craft CD Roms. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp or die, 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 such as a backing paper, a sentiment or a butterfly for example. In your blog post/Facebook entry you must give the name of the CD you've used. This is 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 entry 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 your blog 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.

Creative Crafting World have a new challenge on their blog - Anything Goes and I'm entering this card - https://creative-crafting-world.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/first-blog-challenge.html?m=1

  5. beautifully layered card Pamela, really clever use of the topper, the dashes and dots were created in word, and the pinholes are a Tonic die
