Fun at Easter

Hi everyone, today for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some inspiration for Easter using a small selection of their dies.

I started by cutting out my Quatrefoil frame in white cardstock and using the beautiful Wild Rose paper pad from Craft Consortium I started to build my background layers adding a grass border to the edge of my basket and card.

My whimsical flowers I cut from the same paper pad making sure I placed the Die onto a patterned area of the paper to make my flowers look full of soft shades. I also added a flower to the centre of my bow.

My basket was cut out in Kraft Cardstock and I highlighted the embossed areas with a Fine Liner pen. My sweet bunny is holding a couple of small Easter Eggs and he has a fluffy Pom Pom tail.

Finishing off with a cute little Bird on a branch which is on sale at present in their Clearance Section along with a vast range of other dies, so do check it out.

Springtime Birthday

Hi Everyone, this last week in Scotland has been very cold and we have had a lot of snow and frost. Thinking of warmer days I decided to create a Birthday card for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their latest Pop-Up Dies - Celebrate, along with spring coloured cardstock.

I shadowed layered my word Celebrate 3 times to make it pop and incorporate the colours on my card design and flowers.

My flowers were all cut out in white cardstock and shaded in the centres with some ink. Next I shaped the petals on my Embossing mat and added Flowersoft into the centres. The smaller flowers I bunched a few together in places and added single ones too for extra detail and interest.

Tis the Season

Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Festive inspiration using their super fun new Brad the Reindeer Die.

I started by cutting out my background layers all in glitter card for lots of sparkle. My snowflake I layered two different snowflake Dies to form my snowflower adding lots of bling onto it. This was then placed onto my Holly Flourish which I cut into sections and placed around my snowflower.

Brad was cut out in a mixture of kraft, cream and glitter cardstock. I added a little Distress Ink onto the edges of his face. The antlers I used Distress Powder and a white Embossing powder for added texture.
