As usual the theme is Anything Goes at The CD Sunday Plus Challenge. 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 card for my late husband’s only
surviving uncle. Uncle Jim is now in his 90s but when he was younger he loved
to be in his garden. He still has a small garden but it doesn’t have any grass
to cut and the borders are full of established plants. Much easier for him.
As card makers we usually struggle to make cards
for the men in our lives. But because Uncle Jim loves his garden I try to make
something garden related for him. This year it’s a greenhouse full of flowers
and vegetables! I had planned on making a full 3D greenhouse but ‘life’ got in
the way! I’d moved half of my stash into a spare room in order to set up
another shelf unit but during the construction of the shelf unit I cut my wrist
and had to pay a visit to A&E. The first time I’ve had to do that for my
own health – not bad for someone in their late 60s!
It took me a few days to get over the shock of the injury and back to the
construction and my desk was buried under loads of stash so I had to change my
plans and make a flat greenhouse.
The sky background and paved path were created in
Serif Craft Artist using digikits. The greenhouse dies and vignettes are from Carnation Crafts Botanical Bliss Collection –
Botanical Sanctuary. Wheelbarrow and plants from Carnation Crafts Botanical
Bliss Collection – Gardening Essentials and Flourishing Well. The vine inside the
greenhouse is from Carnation Crafts Floral Heights Collection – Winding
Flourish. I chopped into it to fill the area.
The challenge will close on Saturday 27th September 2025 at 1pm.
The perfect card for the recipient Pamela
