We are still having 'Anything Goes' as our theme for the time being and I have made another go-to box Birthday card. For this one, I used a Joanna Sheen CD - by 'Janet Kruskamp'. There are some lovely images on the CD. Some are a little too fussy for my taste but others are just beautiful. I have chosen one I call 'Quintessentially English'. I think you can see why when I show it to you.
I have used Kraft card for the card itself and a mottled backing card (green) for the 1st matt. I cannot remember where the mottled card comes from but I think it is about 300gsm and there are many many sheets in many many colours. I used a Happy Birthday swag die for the sentiment. I have had this die for some time but I think this is the first time I have used it. I managed to find card for the swag and the second matt which matched the tablecloth in colour. The little flowers in the two corners were die cut from one of my Marianne Craftable sets - this one is Sakura blossoms. I last used it on the basket of the Parchment Butterfly Balloon that I made a few weeks ago.
There is one layer of decoupage which was quite difficult to cut out. That is why I stuck to one layer.
May I say a personal big thank you to all those who entered Challenge #18. I have enjoyed visiting all the Blogs and I hope that we continue to welcome many to CD Sunday Plus.
Any comments you care to leave will be avidly read and appreciated.
