#92 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.
Thanks to everyone who joined in with the last challenge. As I was host it’s down to me to pick the Top Three makes.
My last card was made from items I’d found lurking on my desk unused and so is this one!


The pale brown backing paper was printed from a Carnation Crafts Collection and has been over stamped using a Craftascope stamp. The dark brown strip is left over from a crafting session when I was trying to reproduce a bokeh effect using white ink and stamps.
At the time of making this card I’d just bought a new, to me, flower stamp and die set and just had to use it on this card! It’s stamped onto white vellum using Versamark ink and gold embossing powder. I then coloured the back of the vellum with brown ink so it would fit in with the colour scheme of the card. I added some gold and brown half pearls to finish off the card.


Items used:
Carnation Crafts downloadable vignette Into Spring.
Craftascope A5 Media Stamps Retro Vibes.
Lawn Fawn Let’s Bokeh stamps.
Chloe’s Creative Cards Grande Christmas Rose stamp and dies set and Luxury White Vellum.
Colourbox Chalk Ink in Chestnut Brown.
Heat It Up Enchanted Gold embossing powder.
Creative Crafting World gold and brown half pearls.
Tattered Lave vertical sentiment.
The challenge will close on Saturday 3rd September 2022 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.

#91 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’m hosting the challenge this fortnight and this card came about after a tidy up of my desk LOL! I’d printed off a couple of designs from a USB but hadn’t used them all. This one is far too pretty to be left lurking on my desk! It had been printed onto Pro Print paper which really makes the colours stand out. 


I then printed out two pink papers from another USB to cut the ringlet dies out off. I thought the two shades of pink were the perfect match for the pinks in the background paper. From what was left I made the three flowers using a cut and emboss folder and the sentiment.



The card is finished off with Tonic Nuvo Drops which was almost a disaster! The colour I first used was translucent and too orange, so I went over the top with another colour and held my breath until they were dry – thankfully they turned out OK!

Items used:

Imagination Crafts Mixed Media Rice Papers Vol 3 USB.
Create and Craft Linen Card USB.
Anna Marie Designs Dottie Ringlets and Dottie Sprigs.
Chloe Creative Cards Summer Flower Cut and Emboss Folder.
Paper Boutique Sentiments Vol XX.
Nuvo Drops - Jewel Drops in Rosewater, Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink covered in Jewel Drops in Pink Aura.
The challenge will close on Saturday 20th August 2022 at 1pm.
