No Images

I'm really excited to be posting my first DT card for the CD Sunday Challenge today, I have been entering the challenge since I first started card making and you all know how much I love my CD crafting so this is the perfect design team for me to be on.

The theme for the next fortnight is No images or Photos chosen by Sue.  Don’t forget to use something from a CD somewhere, however small, in the making of your card or project and give the CD credit.  I have used papers from my Crafter's Companion Verity Rose CD-Rom and a computer generated sentiment to make my card.

I  used red card stock and cut my sentiment out with a Tonic Geometric Layering Die.

I created my flowers using a Floral Embellishment stamp from Stamps by Chloe, I stamped onto some of the dotted papers and cut them out before shaping them and layering them up.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Paper Shelter Challenge 252 - Sentimental
Challenge Up Your Life Challenge 43 - Frame

Through the Purple Haze Challenge 103 - Use A Die And/Or Punch
