Thinking of You

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some inspiration on a card that could be used for many occasions just by changing the sentiment.

My card measures approximately 6 x 4 inches and the paper pad  I have used is from Craft Consortium called Wild Rose. I started by adding my base layer onto my card and cutting my Doily in half from white cardstock.

My Tea Roses were also cut from the same patterned paper, shaping on my Embossing mat and adding a Gem into the centres. I bunched them together onto my card with a leaf flourish and my stamped sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely creative weekend.

Be Mine

Hi Everyone, today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some inspiration for Valentines Day using a couple of the new dies from their latest release.

I started off by matting and layering my stacker layers onto my card  and then I added my border to the top and bottom of my card.  I paper pieced my flourish into place to make it larger for this design, hiding the join with a flower. My flowers were cut out of patterned cardstock and some Flowersoft added to the centres.

I just adore this new Film Set, you get 2 different sizes in the pack. I cut mine out in Black cardstock and then positioned the same die over my image, this way it would nest perfectly into my Photo Frame.

My Teddy was cut out in White cardstock, shading with Distress ink. I layered patterned and black cardstock behind the accents. My heart and his arms were layered on twice for extra dimension. I also placed a little bend into the cardstock at his ears and feet. Finishing off with a little bling.

Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope to see you joining in Cheery Lynn's latest Bi-Weekly challenge which currently is Tickled Pink.

Crafty Hugs,

Ballerina Girl

Hi Everyone,  I think we all have dreamed of becoming a Ballet Dancer at some point in our lives and today I am showcasing the beautiful Arabesque Ballerina from the Cheery Lynn April 2015 NewRelease, which I have used on my my DT card for this week at Cheery Lynn Designs.

I die cut my frame, inking the edges with Tattered Rose Distress Ink. I stamped a script stamp and also inked the edges of the centrepiece, finally mounting all onto a peach/pink coloured cardstock.

My Ballet shoes were cut out twice in white Cardstock, I coloured them with Copic Pens and a layer of Mica Powders to give them a look of Satin. I double layered my bow for added dimension.

My Ballerina was cut out in white cardstock and coloured with Copic Pens and Distress Ink onto her dress, with a touch of Mica Powders on her shoes. The bottom part of her dress was layered up 3 times to give added dimension and some tiny flowers added to the waist band.

Tiny flowers were added onto my flourish, finally finishing off my card with some bling. My finished card measures approx - 41/5" x 6"

Cheery Lynn Designs April New Release

Hi Everyone, Cheery Lynn Designs launches their 2nd New Release of the year today and WOW what an amazing release this is. I'm sure when you check out all the designs HERE you will agree we have been thoroughly spoiled with an amazing release. 

On this card I am showcasing 4 of the new dies.

The centre shows the new Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 which comes with an extra swirl die which I have placed around the outer edge of my circle to compliment my tag. My Bird comes in a Set of 4, LOVE them and their amazing detail. You will see them in some more cards over the next month.

The Pierced Stackers are fab - notice all the little holes around the edges, such a pretty finish to the edge. 

The new Leafy Flourish comes in a set of 2 and is so pretty with the little flowers. I cut it out in plain cardstock and layered on a die cut layer of pattern cardstock for my flowers.

Over at the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog my fabulous Teamies are also showcasing more of the New Release, please pop over HERE to see their amazing cards.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back on Saturday showcasing some more from the New Release.
