#74 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.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of Becca Feeken but she’s a Spellbinders designer and I’ve followed her blog, Amazing Paper Grace, for many, many years. She designs the most beautiful dies and her cards are always stunning. So when Create and Craft had some of her new range recently I just had to buy a couple of sets. For this card I used Birthday Wishes Vignette S5-455. 

I covered the card blank with paper from a Paper Pantry USB. This is a stunning range of papers and was originally a paper pack but Creative Crafting World are now bringing out their paper pack designs on USBs. Which is great news as I’ve used up most of my favourite papers from this set.

I cut the base layer die from peach card from the Paper Pantry collection (paper pack this time) then I cut the next layer from white card and the final pink layer is also from the Paper Pantry collection. I then cut the Birthday Wishes layer three times - once in the same pink card, then a layer of silver mirror card and the top layer from white card. They were layered up so they were very slightly off set - you can just see a little of each layer. This top layer was attached to the card with 3d foam to give a little height.

 

The flowers were handmade using the same peach and pink card. They were cut using a cut and emboss folder, I only used two layers for the flowers as the third layer was too big for the space on the card. I love these folders and can’t stop making flowers with them! I used a glue pen along the embossed veins and sprinkled DecoArt Glamour Dust over them and then glued a silver gem in the middle of each flower. I love how they sparkle and it seems to make the silver layer of the Birthday Wishes stand out more. The foliage is cut using Anna Marie Designs Dottie Sprigs dies which I’ve chopped up to fit around the flowers. And a few half silver pearls.

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.
