CD Sunday - Aged to Perfection



Last weeks theme at CD Sunday seemed quite popular and we had some great takes on the 'green' challenge. This week it's Sue B's turn to choose the theme - and it's 'Aged to Perfection'. I've gone down the distressing the edges route with and image from Card Creations Flowers in Bloom CD. The backing paper is also from the CD and the 'doily' mat is made with a Martha Stewart round the page punch - and also shaded with Distress Inks. Just a little seam binding across the middle to finish it off. It's all a bit more peachy looking IRL. I blame the weather!
Hope you can join in this week - and if you do - don't forget to mention the CD which has been used in the making of your project.
Thank you for visiting today.

Very pretty card. Enjoy your weekend.

This is stunning Beryl, the Bearded Iris is an old fashioned type of flower, so I'm sure that would count as Aged as well as the ageing you've done to the card.

A beautiful card Beryl and to me it seems an unusual colour for an Iris. But lovely though.
