Whoops ...

Forgot to show the card I made for Mum's birthday a little while ago.  Shame on me for leaving things till the last minute and having to put together a quick card for someone so important.  Thank goodness for CD art where you can flick through till you find someone's favourite flower - print it - stick it and Bob's your Uncle or in the words of a famous friend of mine 'Bish, Bash, Bosh - job's done'.

This image with the script and rolled up paper effect was taken from Joanna Sheen's CD Floral Fantasy as was the backing paper.  I overlayed the backing paper with vellum as I love the soft effect that brings.  

Beautiful CD and even better when purchased in the Special Offers section of Joanna's website.  Love that section.

Another great thing about CDs and printing papers out is that you can easily make the inside of the card special too.

There are complete inners ready to print out on the CD, but I do like to do things my own way so I just printed out the panel of roses and a verse from Hallmark Card Studio as to my mum a card is not a good card if the it doesn't have a soppy verse inside.

I know I haven't made this card especially for a certain challenge, but it does fit some of them rather well so I'm going to enter it for the following...

• Sentimental Sundays - birthdays plus a sentiment - if you haven't looked at this challenge blog please do - the free quotes/ sentiments this week are just lovely.

Have a great start to the week everyone.
