CD Sunday - Simply Square


It's Jenny's turn to choose the theme this week at CD Sunday and I think it's a brilliant choice. So many ways to interpret 'Simply Square'. I've gone down the really simple route with an image from Docrafts At Christmas Time CD. The holly border is a freebie stamp from a magazine and I've coloured it with Derwent pastel pencils. I quite liked the design but thought it was a tad pale so I made several more using the same image and another from the same cd - this time colouring them with Lyra Aquacolours. I also coloured a couple with H20's. The one below is coloured with the Lyras.


I hope you'll join us this week - remembering to mention any CD that has been used in the making of your prject.
Thank you for visiting today.

Both are beautiful cards Beryl, I love to see a robin on a Christmas card and some Holly, so these are a big hit with me.

Hi Beryl,

i really like the softness of your first card, but the colors in the second pop nicely for Mr Robin in the snow with the holly twigs. Very well done as always.


Hugs and blessings, Martha
