I like CD Crafting - to have thousands of sheets of images and backing paper on hand is so liberating when I look at the amount of space my existing papers take up!
I recently had a big order for Thinking of You/Sympathy cards and I decided to make the theme floral for most of them.
The CD I used for this card's images was Debbi Moore's Cottage Garden Moments.
My card base was my fave 6 x 6 inches, and I put the base layer of the backing paper onto it, rounding all the corners with my corner edger.
I used some of the white card left over when trimming down my A4 sheet to make the card base for the topper. So that it looked more ornamental, I used the inverse corner edger from Xcut to make the shape. I used a silver marker pen to edge it - really makes the card "pop" and is so easy to do!
I fussy cut out one of the images on the sheet and mounted it on the topper using foam pads.
Finally, I used a silver peel off on another piece of scrap card, cutting the pointy edges "by eye" to make a chevron.
I am entering this card into the following challenge:
CD Sunday - Floral Frenzies
What a lovely card - I have several of Debbie's CDs but not this one, will have to look out for it. I love the silver 'edging' on the topper.
