CD Sunday - We Are Sailing

Good morning all. Time for the last challenge of the year from CD Sunday. Sue T has chosen the theme this week, which is 'We Are Sailing'. I got the chance to use this gorgeous Sheena Douglass stamp again - only for the third time since I've had it. I used watercolour paper, stamped with Archival Black, coloured with water colours, distress inks and a little white acrylic. I just added a pre-made greeting and some Baker's twine as I didn't want to cover the fab backing paper (well I think it is). It looks like a watercolour background but it's printed from the Serif Aviary collection CD.
If you find the time to join us during this very busy time of year please remember to mention the CD that has been used in the making of our project - and don't forget to pop over to the main challenge blog to see the contributions from the rest of the team.
Thank you for visiting today.

CD Sunday - The 3 D's

Apologies first of all for my lack of blogs visits this last couple of weeks. I've had two family Christmas's here already (a third one again of 25th) so to say I've been a tad  pre-occupied recently is an understatement. Meals to plan and shop for, presents to buy, make and wrap etc. But all so very worth it.
On to this weeks CD Sunday challenge - chosen by Carol - is 'The 3 D's' - DL, Decoupage and Die Cuts. This was a really last minute card as it got to Thursday and I hadn't even thought about the the challenge so it had to be a quickie. I managed to squeeze in some time of Friday to make and post it on the challenge team blog.
The central decoupage scene is from the Docrafts Digital Design CD At Christmas Time.
I coloured the base card with pale blue (very pale) Pan Pastels, added a couple of Memory Box Madeira corners and then glittered them up with some Glamour Dust. I also dobbed a Quickie Glue pen all over the background (snow like?) and Glamour dusted that too. So at 2pm on Friday it as so dark I had to use all the lighting I had in the room and the camera flash still came on. That's why the blue is not showing up I guess.
Hope you'll find time to join in during this very busy time. I'll be choosing my top three for the Home Sweet Home challenge in the next day or so.
Thank you for visiting today.

CD Sunday - Home Sweet Home

Another scheduled post. Hopefully by the time it's published I'll be just arriving in Port Sunlight for another of Sheena Douglass' brilliant workshops.
It's my turn to choose the theme on the CD Sunday Challenge and this time I've gone with 'Home Sweet Home'.
The main image is a from a Chocolate Baroque set, coloured with Promarkers and then cut out with a Spellbinders die. The sentiment is from a Rubbadubbadoo set, also cut out with Spellbinders dies.
The spotty bp is from the Papercraft Factory CD Dreams Come true and the spotty ribbon is from my stash. The keys were cut, several times, (from a Tim Holtz Sissix set) and layered together to give them a bit of body. The top layer is some embossed gold card.
I hope you'll pop over to the main challenge blog to see what my team mates have made and also join in if you can - remembering of course that you have to use something from a CD and give credit to said CD.
Thank you for visiting today.
