When I get a CD with a magazine, I tend to use it a few times while the magazine is new, and then stick it on the shelf to gather dust, so I spent an interesting few hours rediscovering images I'd forgotten all about. I finally settled on this image and paper from the Barkley collection on Crafters Inspiration CD #3.
The trouble with it is that the image is HUGE - it almost fills the front of a large 20cm square card, and it's very hard to be really creative with something that stands alone like that. The design sheet includes some extra images to layer over three of the pictures, and really all that was left to do was add a background, a bit of matting and layering and a few die cut snowflakes.
Oh this is so cute Jane. I love all the little cats and dogs. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of Paws!. I think it is a great image and a super Christmas card. Couldn't the image be reduced? I am sure you would have done if you could. I know it is difficult with some CD's.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenge and Jane and thank you for your continued support.

Ha! I thought about reducing the image - but the decoupage images were already tiny and making the image smaller would have left them just about impossible to cut out.

Fabulous Jane!!! You'll have to make an envelope to fit it now but worth as it's so lovely......all those pooches too. Thank you for sharing it with us at CD Sunday. Wynn DT

I like it when a card comes together nice and easily. Like you I have quite a few freebie magazines CD's gathering dust on a shelf. Trouble is you have to run them to know what is on them half the time. The answer is to catalogue them of course but finding the time that's the big when. Hugs Mrs A.
