#99 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.
A very quick, simple card from me this time. I’ve spent so long helping a friend with her new flat that I’ve not had time for crafting!
This card is for my youngest brother who likes to play guitar.


I designed the backing paper in Serif Craft Artist using music notes from a Kate Hadfield digi kit called Big School. The notes were originally black and I tried to recolour them using the Colour Picker but because they were such a dark colour you couldn’t see the new colour. So I tried the Styles tab/Instant Effects scrolled down to Plastic and it worked a treat!
Items used:
Serif Craft Artist/ Kate Hadfield digi kit called Big School, Cuttlebug embossing folder - Allegro, Tonic Studios Electric Guitar die and a sentiment die from Paper Boutique.
The challenge will close on Saturday 10th December 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.
We also have a FaceBook page if you don't have a blog The CD Sunday Plus Challenge.

#No:98 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This is the second of my Halloween makes. As I mentioned in my last blog post I haven’t been able to show it before now as it’s one of my design team entries.
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 made this for a card swap I’m in on a forum – the theme was Spooky so I just had to make something for Halloween.


As this is meant to look like a book I used thick card stock in black for the ‘cover’ and ran it through an embossing folder to look like creases in an old leather book cover. I didn’t take a photo as, with it being black, it didn’t make for a very interesting photo!




Items used:
Carnation Crafts: Wedding Volume, Pumpkin Corner, Quiet Retreat and Flourished Floral die sets cut from their 2021 Halloween bundle vignettes. Bats, skeleton and web cut from A little Spooked die set and vignettes of the same name.
Tonic Studios: Nuvo Glow in the Dark Drops added to the pumpkin eyes.
Crafter’s Companion: Lightning embossing folder.
The challenge will close on Saturday 26th November 2022 at 1pm.
