CD Sunday - Around The World

Had JS Faye Whittaker CD for my birthday and just love this scene of the children visiting London, so London is my destination for this around the world challenge. I made a DL easel card using the backing paper which matches the topper on the card base. Thank you for taking a look any comments you leave are much appreciated.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 100 - Ticket to Ride

Think my stamps this week are originally from Creative Expression but bought them as individual stamps on a bargain stall at Ally Pally. I stamped and embossed the rails with clear ep in the background then distressed the tag with Weathered Wood and Ant. Linen DI. The locomotive was stamped with black Stazon and embossed with clear ep. I stamped the loco number randomly round the tag. The ticket collector and loco number were stamped and cut out, distressed then added as shown. Thanks for taking a look, all your comments are greatly appreciated.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 174 - Falling Leaves

I used "Oak Leaves" by Chapel Road stamps for this square card. I stamped the background with a number of distress inks, Antique linen, Forest Moss, Aged Mahogany and Wild Honey. The leaves were cut with a TH die from old book pages and inked up.
I love Autumn colours so I enjoyed making this one very much. Thank you for taking a look and hope you will be inspired to join in with us at Rainbow Lady's Challenge blog.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 99 - The Whole of the Moon

My tag this week was inspired by the phrase I see the moon the moon sees me, I know it is a song but do not remember the rest. I used the page of a book which I painted with gesso for my background. The images are stamped in Archival black. The moon is a stamp by Seascapes and the lady a stamp by Indigo Blu. I added the phrase using my Xyron design runner. Thanks for coming to take a look, any comments you leave are much appreciated.

Crafty Ann's Challenge # 51 - Be Inspired by Your Favourite Christmas Song

Inspiration for this challenge is the Slade song "Merry Christmas Everyone" and in particular the line "Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall?". Inspiration too from Ann's metallics. I have used a gold backing paper overlaid with the red Poinsettia paper as my background. In MCS I added the gold garland and used a digital punch to create two stockings using the same gold paper. The sentiment is the line from the song.
Hope to see your crafty take on your favourite Christmas song over at Crafty Ann's challenge blog.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 173 - In The Misty Moonlight

This week Rainbow Lady's Challenge is once again sponsored by the very generous Joanne Sheen. I have used an image from her "Enchanted Dreams" CD for my topper, adding just a touch of glitter and a peel off. The backing paper is printed from a Serif kit "Sweet Dreams" and I cut a border along the bottom with my new Martha Stewart punch and then mounted it on silver mirror card. I added a strip of silver mesh from my stash and some rub on letters to spell "dream".
Do take a look at Rainbow Lady's challenge blog and join in for your chance to win a voucher from Joanne.
