#65 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

As usual the theme at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge is Anything Goes - remember you must have used something printed from a CD, a USB or a digital download, you must state where the item used is from and you must make a physical item and not a digital one.

Carol, from the CD Sunday Design Team, makes a lot of cards with stitched borders so I asked her where she buys them from as I wanted to have a go myself - this card is my first attempt at making one. I changed the colour of the thread so that it would co-ordinates with the colours in the bird. 


 Items used: 
Carnation Crafts – backing paper, bird vignette and bird die (he’s called Swoop). 
Add Some Sparkle – Stitch and Do kit number 4. 
Tonic – Exquisite Nook Corner die, cut in green to look like foliage. Nuvo Crystal Drops in Buttermilk in the centre of the larger flowers. 
Dies by Chloe (now know as Chloe’s Creative Cards) – this was free in one of Chloe’s box magazines. Each flower was cut twice and the petals offset. They were glued to cover the flowers that are in the corner die as they are only small. 
Small yellow flowers are from my stash – they’re plastic with a hole in the middle which I’ve pushed a brad through. 
The challenge will close on Saturday 31st July 2021 at 1pm.

Don't forget that the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is now about making items using something printed from a craft CD Rom, USB or digital download. You can use other craft items on your card/project, such as a stamp or die, but you must include something printed from the new categories. You must also make a physical item and not a digital one. In your blog post/Facebook entry you must give the name of the printed item you've used.

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