Digital-Ink Co challenge #17 - Peace

Hello to everyone out there. It's been mad here lately hence me not posting anything for a while. My good computer is basically dead (well it's not, but I don't want to use it in case I end up losing everything on it - all my digis noooooo!!!!). Just as well I kept this old laptop of mine - only problem is, it is soooooo slow and it takes me forever to do anything online including blogging. So I've been spending all my time commenting on you fabulously talented peoples blogs that have entered our challenge and getting just about zero crafting done. Not good as you can imagine.
Anyway enough moaning and groaning, lets do some yipping and yayying. Today is the day for the launch of the new challenge at Digital-Ink Co. For this challenge we'd like to see anything that means peace to you. For this challenge I used a stamp from Lil Diva Stamps AKA Donna which you can purchase HERE from the Digital-Ink co store.
Right I made a first for me  - one of these CD dangly gizmos which you can hang on babys room door for when they are sleeping. Mine used to sleep an awful lot and it was so peaceful - oh so long ago now..my eldest is going to be 17 in June,mymiddle one 15 in March (crumbs better get a card done!) and my youngest will be 10 in September - where does the time go? Answers on a postcard to.....hehehehe.
I've used some paper that I've had in my stash like 4 years and stuck this on both sides of my CD. I made a hole in the top with my lovely Crop-o-dile (I want the other one too - what is it the Big Bite?) and put some purple ribbon through the hole and stuck a little bow onto the said ribbon which I made with my Glitter Girls Bow maker. After coloring in my image with Copics and some Sakura gel pens, I cut it out and then glazed the leaves with Anitas 3D clear gloss. When it dried, this made the leaves curl round a little, which I really liked. I attached this image with some foam pads to give it a bit of a lift. Lastly I coloured some silver peel off letters with my Dovecraft peel off markers and stuck them on sloping downwards. Hope you like it.

Next I suppose you would like to know what you could be winning this fortnight....well wait no more!

Oh and by the by, we have a stamp lottery going on this week too. Check it out.

Hope to see you fab creations real soon. Take care everyone and happy crafting.

  14. Sam, I love this. Altered CD's are one of my favorite things for starters and there is nothing more peaceful than watching a baby sleep. And the image is done beautifully. Great job!
