CD Sunday Plus - Challenge # 92 - hosted by Jo

 

For this creation I used Serif Craft Artist 2 - 'Country day Out' by Victoria Nelson.  I used my  graphics programme for the internal striped borders and Carnation Craft dies for the green and white mats.

The image and background were all from the 'Country Day Out'.  There is so much to choose from in this folder that I intend to revisit for more inspiration.

This card has been sent to my cousin Ian who lives in France. It is his birthday next week.  I thought the scene has a distinct continental look. I have spent quite a few short breaks with Ian in the days I was traveling, and always enjoyed those times.

If nothing else, having hand problems for most of this year, has opened up a new world of digital crafting.  I knew vaguely about it but was so concentrating on parchment craft, stitching and decoupage that it was passing me by.  After all there are only so many hours in a day.

I am enjoying 'going digital' and do not intend to forget it when I can get back to the more physical crafting.

I look forward to your visits and will avidly read any comments you care to make.

Stay safe.

Crafters in the 'pink'

 

I made this card to send as a 'Card For Kindness' to another member of the UKSN.  Each month - those of us who have joined this little section of our club - are sent a name of the person we are to make for and to send a card. So this month my card goes to Valerie and I hope she likes it.  I enjoyed making it using a new digital purchase from here.

The background I used actually came from a La Pashe CD and the borders were made with my graphics programme.

Creations In Pink Challenge # 48 ~ Anything Goes in MAINLY PINK

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #91 - hosted by Pamela

 I have been dying for Challenge #91 to come up on the schedule because of the card I had chosen for it.  We have a very strict rule at CD Sunday that the card we show must not have been seen before on the web.  We can have given it to someone else e.g a birthday card - but we must not have posted it ourselves or entered it anywhere else that may show it publicly before the challenge date.  The same rule applies to our challengers.

Anyway all that being said you would think this card is fabulous or wonderful and ask what am I making a fuss about. But no -  it is just one of the digital ones I  made and I loved it and quite frankly wanted to share with you.

I had made the card - which let's face it isn't at all complicated but I wracked my brains to find the perfect caption.  All sorts sprang to mind until the speech bubble idea came and then suddenly I knew what to put in it.

The image comes from a Card Hut CD - Mark Bardsley's Country Show. This CD is one of many from The Card Hut - each with their own graphics programme. Such fun to use.

I have made several of this type of card and plan to show them in future challenges. It is funny how circumstances can send one off in a different direction and introduce something new. Exciting.

Hugs
