Under the Sea

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing with you an underwater themed card which would also look great on a scrapbook layout.

On the edge of my card I tattered my second layer with the edge of my scissors. Next I pressed the edge into my Versamark ink pad and heat set some Gold Embossing powder. My word Explore was also heat embossed in gold.

I used a mixture of foliage on the list below to give the look of Seaweed and Coral at the bottom of the sea. On my Princess Tree die I added a little Distress Stickles. My Starfish was shaded with ink and highlighted with a Fineliner pen, as was my Sand Dollar.

My Anchor was shaded with Copics, heat setting a little Distress Powder and a Patina powder for an aged rusty Look.

The detail on the Seahorse dies is incredible. I cut them out in patterned paper adding a little Stickles and Black Liquid Pearls to their eyes.I moulded the shape of them with my fingers for a curved look and mounted onto my card with Silicone Glue.

Finishing off with an accent from the Ships Compass

My wave edger, small shells and pearls.

We are having a blog hop tomorrow over at Cheery Lynn Designs to showcase a wonderful New Release from them, there are so many new dies on my wish list !

Crafty Hugs,

North American Release - Cheery Lynn Designs Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by today and welcome to our latest blog hop at Cheery Lynn Designs. We are all excited to be sharing with you the latest North American Release of dies. There is 63 dies in this latest collection, where you can find every state and region of the U.S and Canada.

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

I decided to make a home decor item as inspiration with my dies of choice Texas, Maine and California. So let me show you how I made this.

I started off by cutting a piece of Greyboard to approx 12 x 4. Next I cut coffee stirrer sticks in half and trimmed the angled end off them. I glued in place across my greyboard and weighed it down until dry. I gave this board a whitewash of paint and a layer of DecoArt varnish to seal.

You will see on this photo I glued two papers together onto white cardstock to resemble the American flag and placed my dies on to cut out.

My lady was cut out from the Maine die using Tim Holtz Family pack. All my State Letters, Stars and Explore were heat embossed with Red Tinsel embossing powder for an added sparkle.

My Red Roses are to represent the national flower of the United States, adding some leaves and Baby's Breath for added detail.

I added some metal screw brads to the corners.

These dies are fantastic for scrapbooking, memorabilia projects, cards, home decor and lots more. You will see lots of inspiration from my fellow Teamies as you visit their blogs.

Another look at my finished project.

I'd love if you leave a comment to let me know you stopped by on our BLOG HOP and be sure to head over to LISA'S blog next.

Once you have finished hopping be sure to leave a comment at Cheery Lynn Designs to be in with a chance to win a $20 prize for one random commenter.

Have fun and Happy Crafting,
