Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Hop introducing IOE Plates

Hello there and welcome to our latest blog hop at Cheery Lynn Designs. We are all excited to be showcasing with you the new IOE Plates, where you decide what part of your embossing folder you want to emboss. You can also mix and match your embossing folders to make endless designs. All the info is HERE and clearly explained on a video link about these amazing plates.

I am first on the blog hop, so at the end of my post please just click on Lisa's name to carry on hopping.

It was the Spring Equinox here in the UK at the weekend so I thought it would be nice to share a Vintage Springtime Card.

My Pocket Watch I coloured with Copic Pens and mounted onto my Angel Wing which had been given three layers of Pearlised Embossing Powder. Once glued in place I reheated my Embossing Powder to give the illusion of my numbers being set into the Pearl background similar to on a watch.

Finishing off my card with a sweet little Bunny and his cotton tail.

I'd love if you leave me a comment to let me know you have stopped by on our BLOG HOP and be sure to head over to your next stop LISA, to see her amazing card.

Hope you get the chance to follow through to the end of this hop where you will see how versatile these IOE Plates are as you see my Teamies beautiful cards. Leaving a final comment at Cheery Lynn Designs Blog for a chance to win a gift certificate for $20 to spend in their shop. Good Luck.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Happy Crafting to all,

Summer Garden

Hi Everyone, Isn't it lovely the summer flowers are starting to bloom and I thought this week I would bring part of my garden onto my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs. Today my post is scheduled as we are off for a summer break, hence why I may be a little quieter in Blogland over the next ten days or so depending on internet connection.

I started by layering my Flourish onto my card as a background accent and added my Pocket Watch with silicone glue.

My leaves were cut out in green card stock and shaded with distress ink, rolling my edges and layering on with Silicone to give a natural look to my leaves. My Flowers were coloured with Copics and a little Flower Soft added to the centres.

We have a Baby Blue Tit which frequents our garden regularly and I just had to include him on my card. I shaded him with Distress inks and used a Fineliner to hi light the black.
