With Love

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some inspiration for an Autumnal card.

I started by die cutting out my stacker dies, tattering some at the edges with the blade of my scissors and layering up with foam strips.

My Sunflower Doily I layered two colours, offsetting and gluing only in the middle so my layers were not lying too flat.

I added a Winter bouquet of foliage and a Sunflower, apt for this time of year. My berries have Glossy accents added onto them.

My Sunflower was shaded with Distress inks adding Flower Soft and Micro Beads to the centre.

I finished off my card with bling around my sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering the Bi-Weekly challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Hi everyone, today for my DT card over at Cheery Lynn Designs I am excited to be sharing another creation using dies from their latest release. This card measures 8" X 8" to give you an idea of the size.

For my Autumn/Fall foliage I cut out several leaves in White cardstock. I used Distress Sprays on them to get all the different shades. I layered onto corrugated card that had been sprinkled with some Frantage.

My Sunflowers were coloured with Distress inks and micro beads added to the centres.

My hazelnuts I double layered the base area and added a crackle glaze onto the nut area and once dry added a little Distress ink to highlight the cracks.

My berries were also coloured with Distress inks and two layers of Glossy Accents were added letting it dry in between.

I added my doily to the centre and arranged all my foliage and flowers gluing everything in place and finishing with my cute Turkey.

I hope you feel inspired to make a card using the Autumn/Fall Leaves die and why not incorporate it into the Current Challenge - Doilies Theme over at Cheery Lynn Designs where we would Love to have you join in the fun with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Cheery Lynn Designs - Flower Power Blog Hop

Hi everyone, have you seen the vast range of exquisite Flower dies Cheery Lynn Designs do ? Well today you are in for a real treat as we all showcase some of these dies on our latest Blog Hop, so please make sure you carry on hopping to see my team mates creations.

When I make flowers I will either use patterned cardstock or cut in white paper and shade with inks. I love to use bling, micro beads and flower soft into the centre of my flowers. My leaves I also like to cut out of patterned paper or ink with a few shades of green for a realistic look.

My card this time shows flowers inked and flower soft added to the centres for a realistic look. I love to add a mix of different foliage, this adds extra detail and interest for a realistic look. Cheery Lynn has a vast range of foliage to add to your floral arrangements.

I added foam strips between my layers to add depth and shadow layered with some pink cardstock.

New Year Bells

Hi everyone, today I am showcasing some more dies from Cheery Lynn's fabulous new release on my Festive card. In Scotland as the time changes from one Year to the next at midnight we associate this with hearing bells and fondly name it "The Bells". So I decided to combine the Happy New Year with The Christmas Bells onto my card.

My Happy New Year was layered twice for a shadow effect adding on my party hats which had been embossed with Red Tinsel Embossing Powder. Finishing with some snow accents using a Snow Writer pen and Glamour Dust for added sparkle.

I sprinkled a scattering of Frantage on my Holly Leaves, shaded my Berries with Distress inks adding Glossy Accents for a realistic look. My bells were shaded in two colours of Gold Pens adding a little Archival ink to give them an aged feel. I layered up with foam tape for some extra dimension. I also think the bells would look amazing on a Wedding card.

Thanks for stopping by today to see my post and I do hope you get some Creative Time over the coming week to enter the Current Challenge - Back to Nature over at Cheery Lynn Designs with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Have a lovely weekend,

Cheery Lynn Designs - Blog Hop July 2016

Hi everyone, Thanks for stopping by today, we are all so excited at Cheery Lynn Designs to be launching a new IOE Birthday Oval Embossing Folder. If you didn't see our previous blog hop on the amazing IOE plates you can see a video HERE.

I decided to make a card in the shabby vintage style I love. Let me take you through the different stages making my card.

As you can see from this photo I wanted to use the outside edge of my Birthday Oval Folder and the filigree corners from our previously released folder,

so I used my IOE plates to emboss these areas and highlighted with some Gilding Wax.

Next I placed my IOE plates onto my Happy Bithday and embossed my patterned paper. I fussy cut around the edge and mounted my image on with a little Cheesecloth accent and Gilding Wax to highlight the wording.

I now started to add all my layers together.

My floral bouquet I added Flower Soft and a Sparkly Gem to the centres of my flowers.

I heat embossed the word friend with a copper powder and highlighted my embossed areas with some more gilding wax.

Thanks for all your continued comments on our Blog Hop days, and I would love for you to leave a comment today so I know you have stopped by on our hop and to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Your next stop on the Blog Hop is my talented Teamie Lisa.

Let Life Surprise You

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your lovely comments on my previous post and a warm welcome to my new followers. We are having some beautiful warm weather here in Scotland and long may it last. Today for my DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs I am showcasing the wonderful new Rooster and the Floral Bouquet Kit which has beautiful flowers and amazing foliage dies in the set.

As you can see I decided to turn my Rooster into a Weather Vane, so let me take you through my steps.

In this photograph I had embossed the two middle sections and the right hand rooster on my mat to fluff out the feathers. Layering them onto my flat die cut rooster.

I finished off with a complete Rooster on the top Layer.

This photograph shows the elements I cut out from the Ships Compass, you will see I also cut the letter 'S' so I could have it in a different position on my Weather Vane. I also painted a Barbecue Skewer with Black Gesso and used two arrows from my fun with arrows set trimming the point off one and the tail part off the other.

I then hid my join behind the Barbecue Skewer.

My floral arrangement I added Glossy accents to my Berries and my yellow flowers have Flowersoft in the centres.

I finished my card off with steampunk corners, touches of bling and small dried cream flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, you still have time to enter the Current Challenge - Lots of Layers to win a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn Designs. Good luck to all entering.
