August 23rd Anything goes

Hi there. The challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs this week is "Anything Goes". I started with a wood grain base then added the Chicken Wire . I had fun with the new Thankful Harvest  die. I followed the video that is on the homepage of CLD website by embossing instead of cutting the die and then coloring the areas the color I wanted them. I then cut out one and placed over the colored embossed design. How cool is that. I did the coloring and shading with copic markers. I colored the Sunflower with copics also and placed some leaves behind it from the  Build a Flower # 1. A few Wheat Heads here and there where tucked in behind. Last I added the Paris Signs 1  to the top corner with the text give thanks on it. I invite you now to come join our challenge

Aug 16th Doilies

Hello This weeks challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is "Doilies". I started with the Circle - Scalloped LG Stackers  folded in half  for the base. I then used the Doily Stacker Circles cut to size and layered on top of the base. Layered on top of the base is the Circle - Scalloped LG Stackers  and the Fleur De Lis Doily  followed by the Heart and Arrow  with the sentiment Love.  One of the Small Exotic Butterflies #2 w/Angel Wings  was added to the top right. I collected some of the pieces from the Fleur De Lis Doily  and layered them along the edge of the Doily Stacker Circles . A few pearls finished the design off nicely. Please come join the challenge

Back To Nature

A warm hello. Today I am going to share with you a card I created for the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge. The theme is "Back to Nature (butterflies,birds, bees etc.)". I choose to make a card using just four dies. I like the way it turned out with all the dies being featured equally and all standing out nicely. I started with a black base. I then cut the largest of the Dutch Daisy Boutique Stacker A2 Frame  set and layered it onto the base. I cut the wings from the Small Lace Butterfly w/Angel Wing  and colored it with copic markers. I cut the butterfly from the Small Lace Butterfly w/Angel Wing  in white and layered it on top of the colored wings. What a striking butterfly it created. I used the Leafy Flourish  in green on the corners and cut it again in white. I then cut the flowers off the white flourish and colored them to match the butterfly. I popped the colored flowers up on the flourish to give another layer. I used the sentiment Mother's with the "S" cut off and added Mother to the top corner. I really like how striking this all looks on the black base. I hope you will come join our challenge @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge  for your chance to win a $20.00 shopping spree. Have a crafty week.

Summer Fun

Welcome. Today I am sharing with you my card for the "Summer Fun" challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs. I started by drawing the shape of flip flops and cutting them out. I added two white strips of paper with the one end rounded for the straps and added a flower from the Tiny Flower Kit . How cute they turned out. I cut a narrow piece of pattern paper and used the Royal Scandinavian Border Set  to cut a design along the edge of it. I then layered it along the top. I cut the Fleur De Lis Doily (Set of 2) and backed the smaller one with cream paper. This made a beautiful background for the umbrella. To create the umbrella I used one of the  Circle Classic - Silver Stackers  cut in half. I then cut the fancy edge along the bottom of the umbrella with the Royal Scandinavian Border Set  in purple pattern paper and layered it along the bottom. I used the small design from the Royal Scandinavian Tag 1 to layer at the top of the umbrella. A skewer stick was then added to finish off the umbrella. The sentiment Friend  was added to the bottom corner. The flip flops were layer on the opposite bottom corner. Some tiny bling gave it that little extra.
