Covering Two Challenges
It is rarely I have my act together enough to cover more than one challenge at a time but I've managed it this week with the St Luke's charity which is a seaside theme and the CD Sunday challenge where they are asking for buttons to be included (there is also a prize up for grabs here so trying my luck). I chose the image and background paper from Joanna Sheen's Cardmakers Year CD which I've not looked at for a while but as I had no suitable stamps for the seaside theme I thought maybe there would be something on there amongst the summer months and I was right - several to choose from in fact. I used a mask to emboss the stitchy grid, added some ribbon, flowers with button centres and a sentiment produced on the computer.

Love this card Val, reminds me of my kids sitting playing in the sand. A perfect card to enter the buttons challenge, good luck in the draw.

This is one of my favourite images on this cd, your card has a lovely peaceful feeling about it. Love those buttone in the middle of the flowers and am impressed with your stitchy grid. Thanks for joining in with us at CD Sunday this week and good luck with winning the prize!

Love your grid background & the way you've integrated the whole design with the colours from the image. Lovely shaped nesties which really soften this beautfiully.
