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.
For my Design Team make this time I’ve
chosen a card I made for my next door neighbour. He’s very hands on with DIY
and he works as a caretaker/handyman at a local school. I knew I had a CD rom with the
perfect image and background scene.
I covered a card blank with silver
mirror card and then glued the ‘shed’ image onto it. The man was from a decoupage
sheet on the CD and holds a pint of beer in his left hand. I didn’t want this
in the final image so I searched my Craft Artist digikits and found a mug that
was suitable which fitted perfectly in his hand hiding the pint glass! I don’t
enjoy fussy cutting as I’m not very good at it but managed to cut out three
layers of decoupage and they don’t look too bad.
I die cut lots of nuts, bolts and
tools from mirror card and placed them around the shed. The centres of the nuts
are little circles and would normally be waste but I used them to hang up some of
the tools and I think they worked!

Just Inklined The Big One CD: Framin’
Cards Set 2 – DIY Tool Shed #1 for the background. Flippin’ Men Flippin’ DIY
decoupage sheet for the guy.
Tools were all cut using a set of dies
free with Die Cutting Essentials Issue 51.
The
challenge will close on Saturday 11th September 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.
Fabulous card, and all the embellishments, must have taken you ages to cut and place them
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great card. I like the way you have used the waste from the nuts to hang the tools. A clever idea that works really well.

I thought the 'nails' you used to hang the tools are brilliant. I thought they were part of the decoupage until I read your notes. I love the whole series of these on the CD.
