Pretty Bows

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my latest vintage style DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs .

This photo shows you the start of my layers. You will see I have shaded the edges with Distress Ink and used my Distress tool around the edges of my card for a shabby look.

My Butterfly I used embossing powders on and added a little button onto the centre.

My bow once die cut out I tattered the edges with my Distress Tool adding a little ink to the edges.

My flowers were all shaded with Distress Inks and shaped using my embossing mat, adding little buttons into the centres.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post today.

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.

Adding Stickles, bling and a stamped sentiment which was fussy cut to finish.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post today.

My First Art Journal Pages

Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by today to see my very first Art Journal page. I have pondered over the idea of Art Journalling for several months now, feeling very apprehensive about the whole idea but finally decided to take the plunge.

I only have one ongoing photo as the whole project kept changing and was nearly completely Gesso'd over at another point. I kept going though and am pleased with my results. Whether I will be in another six months as my journal fills up is anyone's guess LOL

I would love if you had time to leave me your honest opinion on my pages to help me improve as I step into the Journey of Art Journalling.

Many Thanks,

Julie x

Fathers Day Card

Hi Everyone, a week on Sunday marks the Celebration of Fathers Day in both the UK and USA, so I thought it would be nice to share my DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs this week. My Dad loves being out in his garden and his cat is not usually far away from him, so I decided to create this little scene on my card.
