Cheery Lynn May Release Blog Hop!

Hello! 

I hope you are enjoying the blog hop for the Cheery Lynn Designs May New Release! 

I have used three New Release dies on my card, the Cherry Blossom BranchYou’re The Best Oval sentiment and the Quatrefoil A2 Frame 1. I have used the Quatrefoil in two different ways, once as a die cut and once as a stencil using one of my favourite techniques.

I cut the Quatrefoil out in white cardstock and place it down on my kraft layer like a stencil. Using an Ink Blending tool, I blended white ink over the entire stencil. Then moved the stencil alittle to the left and up - offsetting it. Once again I used an Ink Blending tool to apply Peacock feathers and Faded Jean Distress Ink over the top of the stencil. I then removed the stencil, leaving a great design on my kraft paper. I also used the "Stencil" on my bottom layer - perfect colour match!
If you are following Cheery Lynn Designs blog hop then you should have just came from Amy's blog (www.amyvoorthuis.blogspot.comand saw the beautiful creation she has done for this hop.
Above you can see a close up on the new Cherry Blossom Branch. I cut it out twice in white cardstock. Inked one with Faded Jeans Distress ink and trimmed out the blossoms. Layered the blossoms on top of the white die cut and added dark blue pearls to the center of each bloom.

I also inked the You’re The Best Oval with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and layered it on to dark blue cardstock. Trimmed it out and layered to a Scalloped Oval cut from white cardstock.
