CD Sunday - Just Because

I decided to look at a CD I have not used for a long time and chose Rob Addams Art Deco Delights. The two backing papers, frame and decoupaged lady are all printed from the CD. The punch around the page is Martha Stewart and the ribbon punch is Anna Griffin. I added some glitter to the lady and a sentiment using Xyron Design runner and the rose from my stash. Thank you for coming over to have a look. Your comments are really appreciated.

Over at Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we have a new sponsor, the lovely Glenda from Chocolate Baroque. The design team have been playing with her Faux Postage template, available as a download and her Mail Art stamps.As my background I have used a sheet of Love Letters paper also available as a download.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 91 - It's A Horse's Life

I recently read War Horses and that was the inspiration for this tag. The work horses that went to the front during World War One. The background is stormy sky and I added Deco Art Perfect Paper coloured with Walnut Stain to create the feel of the mud of the trenches. The barbed wire is a TH mask with Black Soot. The writing is a genuine Love Letter from Chocolate Baroque, written in 1861 by a soldier to his wife, printed on vellum. Finally the wonderful horse is a stamp from Artemio. He is stamped in Stazon. I added a faint echo of him to represent all those other horses. It is a book for children but as you may be able to tell I was greatly moved by it. Thanks for coming by to look, all your comments are much appreciated.

Crafty Ann's Challenge # 47 - Scallops or fancy Borders

CD Sunday - Bling It Up

I stamped my main image and corners using Chocolate Baroque Flora Bella stamp set and the backing paper is from Artylicious CD Fantasy Floral. It is hard to see the bling but after colouring the flowers and corners with Promarkers and distressing the background, I added stickles in Crystal and Purple then mounted it on holographic silver card. The backing paper I glittered and also mounted on the holographic card. Quite a lot of bling for me!
