Cheery Lynn October Blog Hop

Hi everyone and a warm welcome to my blog. Today at Cheery Lynn Designs we are having a blog hop sharing lots of inspiration with our Winter themed cards. So let me take you through my design.

I started by cutting out a stitched rectangle stacker die in white cardstock. I sprayed some Wintry shades of Distress Sprays and a little water onto my mat and swiped my card through picking up the ink. I dried my card and next sprinkled some Frantage for a snowy effect, finally adding some glittered diecut snowflakes and mounting onto my glittercard.

My houses were diecut out in white glitter card adding some yellow card behind the windows. I coloured the trees with Copic Pens and finished with a little Archival Ink on the edges of the houses and some Snowtex and Glass Glitter for extra sparkle.

My Polar Bear and Penguin are both cut out in several colours of glitter card, layering together and adding extra detail on the embossed areas of my Dies with a fine liner pen and finishing the hats with more Snowtex and Glass Glitter.

I'd love for you to leave a comment before you go, I love reading them all and please be sure to leave a comment as you arrive back at Cheery Lynn Designs to be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

Winter Wedding

Hi Everyone, winter is fast approaching now in Scotland and a lot of people like to have a Winter Wedding in hope of some snow. So I thought for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs it would be nice to share some inspiration for a Wedding card to give in the Winter with soft wintry shades.

Here is a photograph of my first few layers. I tore my paper and inked at the edges with Spun Sugar and cut my doilies in half, placing them behind the cardstock.

I now added my leaf flourish and also cut and pieced another leaf flourish on to my card.

My words were layered for a shadow effect and I added an extra layer on to my banner by fussy cutting and tattering the edges.

My flowers were made using the Sweet Christine die. I added a little gem in to the centres and also made some small buds using the same die to add some more interest on to my bouquet.

Thanks for stopping by today.
