I would normally be posting a CD Sunday DT card today but I have made the difficult decision to step down from some of my Design Teams due to some ongoing health issues and sadly CD Sunday is one of them. I have also stepped down from Di's Digi Designs and Pink Gem Designs - I just don't want the pressure of creating to a deadline and using specific products quite so much at the moment.
I wanted to create a card for a gentleman that likes the finer things in life so I reached for my Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey CD.
I decided to use one of the card companions to create an easel card.
I added a few extra layers and used foam pads to add the image and sentiment.
Thank you for calling today, your company is much appreciated.

Sorry to hear you've got health issues Pauline. I can understand the deadline thing though. It can sometimes take the pleasure out of being creative. A super card though and I hope all those drinks on the tray aren't for one person!! :-)
Fantastic card. Love the layering.

Wonderful male card Pauline, love the layers. Hope your health issues are not too serious and leaving some of the design teams will I am sure ease the pressure. To be honest I don't know how you find the time to created for so many and continue to have all the fabulous idea's and design as you do. Take care Hugs Jennifer xx

CD Sunday DT.
You've got much on your plate and sometimes one needs things to calm down, so totally understand your need to limit dt obligations. Sometimes I need the dt assignments to be able to create, other times I need to just go with the flow and having no Iimitations.
The gentleman will be very happy with this card.
I love this beautiful card Pauline, great for a gentleman. Sorry to read that you are stepping down from some of your DT positions, but can quite understand why.

A beautiful and sophisticated card Pauline. I fully understand your decision to step down from some design teams, sometimes we have to weigh up what is better for us in the long run, hope you are alright though and that it is only a short term health issue.

Hi Pauline,
Your card is really pretty.
I am sad that you are leaving Di's digi stamps, but I totally understand your decision. Health always comes first! I will miss your lovely creation.
Big hugs,

How gorgeous! Such striking colors and FABULOUS Pauline-style creation with wonderful design and panels. Really beautiful. Hoping your feet continue healing! Hugs, de
This is such a distinguished card Pauline, love the black mats. You are very wise to trim back your commitments in order to take care of you. I found I was getting stressed by DT work that "had" to be done. So I stepped back and reduced the teams I was serving depending on the dates. I now find I am enjoying my creative time again and the challenges are spread nicely throughout the month. Hope you are recovering well xx
Sorry for your health issues, hope that you feel better soon!
Your card is just stunning with all those layers, it has an optical illusion feel (...may be for all those drinks LOL :) )
It's so masculine and elegant, and surely that gentelman will appreciate it so much!
This is absolutely fabulous image and a brilliant card.
So very sorry that you are having health issue and hope they improve very quickly.
Take care.

Fabulous male card Pauline, I love the colours and the design. I hope you are soon feeling much better, I am sure reducing the design team commitments will help greatly. You always amazed me how you produced so many cards or different teams,
I certainly couldn't do it!
Take care of yourself.
