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.

There’s not a lot to this card – I used three dies from Carnation Crafts and also added a sentiment from The Paper Boutique. The flowers were decoupaged using Pinflair Glue Gel.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts dies and vignettes: Floral Heights Collection (for the flowers and foliage). Perfectly Peaceful (for the background die).
The Paper Boutique: sentiment die.

The challenge will close on Saturday 30th September 2023 at 1pm.

Sometimes a photograph of a card doesn’t show how much time has been spent on creating it. That’s the case with this card which was created digitally using Serif Craft Artist. The main image is completely flat with just two other layers of coloured card.

Creating the image took me quite a while. I started with the ‘carpet’ which was originally a small rug made up of several bright colours. I cropped, resized, and recoloured it to turn it into a carpet. The ‘wall paper’ was simple enough it just needed to have the colour changed. I then needed something to separate the wall from the carpet. I chose a plant marker which I cropped and changed the size to make a skirting board! The side table was cropped to remove a box of tissues and a table lamp, the books were cropped to make a much smaller pile, the floor lamp changed from red to pink. The mirror originally had a stand to it which I removed and turned to be landscape. I added a scene and curtains to the window. Finally the little picture on the wall (top left) had a family photo added. It’s a photo of the four generations of women in the recipient’s family. When I pointed it out to the family they loved that I’d added it.

Items used:

Tonic Studios: Craft Perfect Navy Blue card.

Limetree Crafts: Raspberry Kiss card.

Carnation Crafts: You Made It die set.

Serif Craft Artist digis: Great Grandads, Bloke – Man Flu, Big School, Christmas Dinner, Home from Home, Veggie Patch (skirting board) Girls Night In, Venetian Masquerade, Deco Dressing Room.

My make for this challenge is a wedding anniversary card for a very dear Aunt and Uncle of my late husband’s. They’ve been married 69 years – looking forward to celebrating the big one next year!

I turned to Carnation Crafts for this card. I have a lot of their dies and I can usually find something to fit an occasion.

I always seem to make my life difficult when making a card and trying to get the size right for the circles nearly drove me crazy LOL!

I'm currently into making flower arrangements using Forever Flowerz. This is the one I gave to them for their anniversary.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts: dies used - Summer Radiance Collection (Time Tested and To You Both) and Water’s Edge Collection (The Lake and The Angler). Perfect Papers cardstock (300 gsm) from Comfort of Home and Equinox Blooms Collections. The background scene is from the vignettes download.

Presscut Nesting Dies – Plain Circles.
