Challenge #65 - Bearlymine Designs - "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Crafters, not long to go to the big day now and I hope that your preparations are well in hand, and of course we crafters are still making Christmas cards and Ive decided if I have any left they will go away for next year. Todays Challenge here at The Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot is "Anything Goes" and we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are generously,


And here is my card.


I decided to use this gorgeous image "Cookies for Santa" you will find her here, and I printed her onto white card then using my copic pens I have coloured her, then used a Christmas Tree Nestabilitie die to cut her out, I then used the die to draw around to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have printed it onto white card then mounted it onto blue card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and the papers I have used are Donna's Bearlymine Designs "Pastel Christmas" digi papers and you will find them here, and I have used for my first paper a blue background with white snowflakes on, the second is a blue background with sentiment on I cut this into a square and used Martha Stewart Border and Corner punches on it, then placed it in the center of the first mount. I then wrapped a piece of webbing around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount. For the diecuts I used pearlescent card and several Marianne Christmas tree and fern dies and cut out several different sizes and placed them in the left and top right corners, I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment at the bottom on the right.
I do hope that now youve seen my card you will go and visit The Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Anything Goes" Challenge.

This is a lovely card Shirley but I cannot see where you have used a CD for any of the elements. If you have you haven't mentioned which one.
I am afraid this is one of our very few requirements if you wish to be considered for a prize.

A lovely card Shirley, however as Carol has stated you must use something from a CD in your design to be considered for a prize. Perhaps you used paper from one of Donna's CD but you haven't said.
