CD Sunday L is for ....

Welcome to CD Sunday again. my L is for Lilac and I have used the CD "From the Heart of the Garden" from Joanna Sheen. This CD features the work of Jane Shasky. It has some lovely backing papers as well as the beautiful images.

I simply mounted a backing paper, one edge punched with a Martha Stewart punch, and a topper onto silver mirri card. I added a ribbon and mounted the whole onto another piece of backing paper also mounted on mirri. Do have a look at the ideas from the lovely DT over at CD Sunday web site and join us.

I so enjoy working on scrapbook pages in Serif Craft Artist that I also did a page using the same topper. I used a digi kit from Booland Designs called Lilac Avenue and imported the topper as a photo.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Post Card Challenge - Belgium

This week we are in Belgium. I was researching it when I came across "The Folon Foundation". This is a wonderful park and centre outside of Brussels which houses the work of Jean Michel Folon. Some of the sculptures he has scattered about the park feature a gentleman in a raincoat and hat with or without an umberella. This caught my eye as it is an image used by Tim Holtz frequently. So here is my postcard in homage to Jean Michel Folon and Tim Holtz. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder and one of his stamps. I coloured and added the rain with a water colour pencil in silver grey. Below is my page, the backing papers I made using marbling paint in water and as I cannot resist Belgian Chocolates I cut my title from printed paper covered in chocolates. Thank you all so much for the kind comments you leave, I am so enjoying seeing all your postcards and reading your stories. Jen x

CD Sunday - A La Mode

It is a pleasure to join the talented CD Sunday team as a guest again. This week they are sponsored and we have the lovely Shoes in Bloom CD to work with.

I love this multi layer topper and have mounted it on matching dark pink mirri card. I used the page curl and woven backing papers. I added three flowers that I made to match from flower heads and leaves in my stash.

Do take a look at the web site and let the team see your interpretation of A La Mode. Don't forget to use something from a CD in order to enter the draw.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Post Card Challenge - France

Here we are in France. My postcard is a stamp from The Paris Collection by Darkroom Door. I stamped it with Stazon on glossy card then masked it and stamped text and crackle around the image. I added the colour with DInks Antique Linen, Faded Jeans, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.

I used these same colours on my book page which I also stamped using more images from the Paris Collection. The flap of my page is a freebie from Free Vintage Digital Stamps. I added more colour to match it to my page.

So enjoying seeing every ones postcards and thank you all for your kind comments here on my blog.

Crafty Ann's Challenge # 58 - Love Is In The Air

For the background paper for my 6 by 6 card I used two of Crafty Ann's lovely red papers, one from the crinkle collection and one from the cobweb collection, and added an overlay and her silver frame. After mounting this on silver card I added my ribbon, charm, roses and glitter sentiment. This will be my valentine for someone special sssh!
