CD Sunday


Good Morning Fellow Bloggers.  My card today is for The CD Sunday Challenge, which this week is Days Gone By.  I have made an easel card using an image and matching papers from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD.  I have matted everything onto some burgandy cardstock, which I found in one of my stash boxes.  I have managed, for the very first time, to use Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the edges of the paper.  I usually make an awful mess of this technique, so I am quite pleased with myself.  I have a real problem with cut and dry foam, so I tried Judikins Colour Dusters and they worked.  The lace and pearls are from Wild Orchids Crafts and the rose spray is from Joanna Sheen.  The card is for my neighbour's birthday and I still have to personalise it, this will be on the empty side of the base.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting.  Beryl x

  7. Beautiful card Beryl, love the flowers and lace with that vintage image. Well done on cracking the aged mahogany too - I've had a few disasters with that too but you've done a brilliant job with it
