CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #33 - hosted by Jocelyn

Happy Easter to one and all.  I really hope that everyone is well and has managed to find some chocolate.  At the moment I am into KitKat bars.  They have always been a favourite and as the cross between sweeties and biscuit, they are perfectly filling a hole.

As I said on the CD Sunday Plus blog this is not the way we all planned to spend Easter but at least we crafters can find plenty to do.

For my team card this time I have made an Easter card.   I don't normally make cards specifically for Easter.  Likewise neither for Valentine's day or Halloween. But I remembered that I made a stitched card way back in 2016 (here)  and really liked the pattern so I went back to Stitching Cards and found another pattern to download.   Stitching Cards, by the way,  have a Facebook Group and I have joined up.





The oval frame - which I think is gorgeous and perfect,  is from  Joanna Sheen's 'Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady'  CD1.
The colour of the backing card is, what I would call eau de nil, and gives the effect of having been enamelled.   Especially put together with the gold frame, peel-offs and thread.   It all reminds me of a piece of jewellery - perhaps a locket or brooch.

Don't forget please to visit CD Sunday Plus - link in the sidebar.  There you will find our few rules and also links to my fellow teamies so that you can visit them too.
Happy Easter

    Hi Carol, your card is stunning. I too have stitched this design, but the way you've put it all together is fabulous. Love Jo x
