Two Cards, One Challenge

Hi Folks, my cards today are for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Paisley Fun.  This had me well and truly stumped, I have a small paisly stamp and was going to make an image using that, but couldn't decide on a cd to use for a nice backing paper to go with it.  Then I discovered some paisly patterned paper that I have had almost as long as I have been making cards!  Next problem,  what image to use. I looked through my file of printed pics  from cds and couldn't find anything that fitted the colours of my paper.  This all took place yesterday!  This morning I remembered that my paisly stamp was from an Asian set of stamps I have had for years, which led me to look at Joanna Sheen's Eastern Treasures CD.  All problems solved.  Because the paisly paper is so in your face I decided to just use a strip of it with a co-ordinating paper, and ended up with two cards instead of one.

I hope you like them, and thank you so much for visiting and for the lovely comments.
