This card came about purely by accident to be honest. I was nosing through all the different sections on the CD and found one marked cutting files. Now as you all know I am lusting after an electronic cutting machine, but currently I don't have the funds nor the space for one, so I thought I'd torture myself and take a look at what I'd be missing out on! Well can you imagine how excited I was when I realised that the folder had amongst other things some PNG files and then to find this gorgeous image hidden amongst them ?? :D It was a proper Tena lady moment I can tell you!
I thought it would be rude not to use the image on a card, so this is what I did with it. Sadly in my excitement I completely forgot to add a sentiment to the card blank before mounting and attaching the image - doh! So I had to add it afterwards (kicks herself!!!).
The background is of course inked with Distress Inks and I've used a white gel pen to add some highlights to the image to make it pop a little.
So are you starting to get a feel for what the CD is about now? I do hope so, cos CD's get such bad PR and to be honest the only limits to creating with them is your imagination!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Lovely card. I think I would like CD's if my printer and I didn't have such a hate/hate relationship. It's lucky I won the stupid thing because I'd have took it back to the shop if I'd paid for it!

ReplyDeleteTena moment, lol. I must admit I'm not into CDs, I think its the cost of replacing printer cartridges that is the problem for me. They run out so quickly and cost a fortune to replace. This is another great card Claire and your secret is safe with us (about the sentiment being forgotten and put on afterwards).
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Fabulous work on your image. Bravo !
