CD Sunday Challenge - 2 January 2011


Over at the CD Sunday Challenge the topic this week is "check it out".  I had planned this card but it took another direction when I saw this challenge.  It took me a while though looking through CDs, as I wanted to use a stamped image, to look for some check paper.  I eventually looked at one of my Christmas presents - The Crafter's Companion SWALK CD - and hey presto there was some check paper on there.  I couldn't resist printing off some striped paper and some of the borders - well it would have been rude not to.  When I stamped/watercoloured the Elusive Stamps image for my first card of 2011 I also stamped a second image in case I did a boo-boo as I haven't properly watercoloured for a while.  Needless to say no boo-boo so I was able to make two cards rather than one.  I have distressed the edges of the images with Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans and Broken China distress ink pad and the two pieces of card I have used have been distressed with Tim Holtz's distressing tool which I LOVE!!!.  The card is finished off with a personalised insert using the SWALK CD, some flowers, card candy, fibres and a stamped sentiment (I normally don't do straight onto the card but I did this time and it worked - normally it doesn't and that's why I normally stamp on card, cut it out and stick it on).
