Christmas Time

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by today. If you missed my last post below you will see I am taking a break at present from blog following and Facebook.

Today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some more Festive Inspiration using some of their beautiful Dies and pretty Maja Design Papers.

I started by fussy cutting my figure and inking at the edges, matting and layering onto my tattered inked layers.

I layered a mixture of foilage inking my leaves at the edges, adding Glossy Accents onto my berries and cutting out my Snowflakes from Glitter Card and adding some shape into them. Finishing with some flourishes and a Poinsettia along with a sparkly gem and Accents of Stickles for added sparkle.

Joy to the World

Hi everyone and welcome to my DT post for Cheery Lynn Designs. Gosh I can't believe how fast we are now approaching the end of the year and it will soon be Thanksgiving Day for all our American friends. So today my card is inspired by this celebration.

I started by distressing my 2 layers of Maja Design papers at the edges and layered onto my card. I cut out my wreath in 3 shades of paper from the same pad, cutting 2 of my wreaths so they would stretch out a little larger than the base one. The cut was hidden by my drop shadowed reindeer.

My large sunflower was coloured with Copic Pens and Micro Beads added into the centre. The smaller sunflowers I added Flowersoft into the centres and also touches onto the wreath. My berries were coloured with Copic and 2 layers of Glossy accents added letting them dry between coats. Finishing with arranging my bouquet onto my card.

September Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. Today at Cheery Lynn Designs we are having a blog Hop to Give Thanks to all our Fans by giving you 15% off all our store wide Dies and Supplies from 15th September through until 22nd September. Do check it out HERE.

My card today has an Autumnal feel to it which could easily be adapted for a Thanksgiving card.

I started by cutting out my curved edged Stacker Die in brown card stock. My next layer I wanted to look like shabby strips of wood so I painted a sheet of cardstock with brown paint and applied a layer of crackle paint. Once dry I added white paint to the top to reveal the crackles and sprinkled on Gold Embossing powder, heat setting in place. I then cut into strips, tattering and inking the edges layering onto my card with foam strips.

My sentiment was stamped onto Kraft card and torn around the edges, applying some ink in Autumnal colours.

My Autumn bouquet you will notice my acorns were cut out in Kraft card. I layered the base part twice and coloured with a dark brown Copic Pen, the nut part I added some Distress crackle paint to it.

My swirls were Heat embossed with a mixture of metallic powders. My leaves were cut out in several shades, inking some with Autumnal colours and adding some Distress powders onto them. The berries were coloured with a few shades of Copic Pens adding Glossy Accents onto them.
