Winter Otter

I have created this card for The CD Sunday Challenge - it's their 8th Birthday celebration and I have just scraped in by the skin of my teeth!

Congratulations On Your Engagement

I have been playing with my Crafter's Companion Camden Town CD to create this card for the current CD Sunday Challenge, the theme is Celebration.

I used a pretty topper and papers to make an easel card - I really like creating easel cards but they certainly are difficult to photograph.

I used two of the papers from the collection, tearing one and adding distress ink to the edges of everything.  I printed the topper twice so that I could add an extra layer using foam pads for dimension.  The sentiments are also from the CD.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Celebrations.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.

I fussy cut the starfish and layered everything up with foam pads. The sentiment has been attached using some string from my stash.
