Cheery Lynn Designs Whimsical Delights Blog Hop!

Hello! 

Thank you for joining me and I hope you are enjoying the blog hop for the Cheery Lynn Designs June New Release Whimsical Delights!

If you are following Cheery Lynn Designs blog hop then you should have just came from Amy's blog: amyvoorthuis.blogspot.com and saw her beautiful creation!
To create my card, I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock with the Rectangle Stitch and Cut die. Then painted the entire panel with Robin Egg Blue acrylic paint. Once dry, I embossed the panel with the Wood Grain embossing plate. Using a sanding block, I removed the paint on the embossed area only - giving the panel a two toned look. I layered this onto a Java Brown card base.
Above you can see a close up on the new Whimsical Owl Die. He has been cut from Core'dinations cardstock and roughly sanded to reveal the great detail.  I used two jeweled brads for the eyes. 

I decided to add the nest under the owl from the Bird Nest And Eggs set. I also used the core'dinations cardstock for it. For the top of the nest, I cut it out twice from Kraft cardstock and applied some Patina glitter glue with my finger tip for some sparkle!

The Pierced Banner sentiment was cut from Kraft cardstock and roughly painted with Robin Egg Blue acrylic paint. Once dry, I stamped and embossed in black. I then added the same Patina Glitter Glue to the letters.

A Little Something for You Card


Hello & Thanks for joining me today!

For this weeks card, I stamped, watercoloured, embossed and inked the background with Distress Inks on watercolour paper. I then die cut the stamped image out using the Pierced Stacker #4 set. I placed a larger black cardstock die cut (from the same set) to cover the die cut hole. 

I then layered the stamped image on top. I inked a variety of foliage die cuts with Distress Inks and placed in the bottom left and top right corners. I used the Build a Flower #2 to create my large flower and the Embellishment #2 for the small buds.


My Sentiment Frame was also cut from watercolour paper and inked to match the background. I stamped and embossed my sentiment in black. Added a few rhinestones to the center of the flowers and stamping.

Dies Used:

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Friends Card with Corina Finley

Hello!


Back again today with a card to share, that I have created using the 3D Peacock die for inspiration. The Peacock die is from Cheery Lynn Designs Mays New Release and has so much beautiful detail. 


I cut most of the layers for my card from a large piece of watercolour paper that I inked and sprayed with Distress Stain and Glimmer Mist. I cut a circle and card base from black cardstock. For the 3D effect on the Peacock, I bent up along the detailed cuts and embossed areas. I also added Stickles and a Turquoise glaze to the body for shine.

Lots of Layers Card


Hello to you!

Today's card post is inspired by the Cheery Lynn Designs new challenge theme 'Lots of Layers'. Creating a multi layered base, sentiment and of course the layered Flowers all give the card dimension and depth.


For the Shasta Daisy, I only applied a little bit of Yellow dye ink with a finger dauber to the center of each layer of the flower. For the Chrysanthemum, I applied a heavier amount of yellow ink with a blending tool to each layer and then gentle added a dark orange dye ink to the ends of the petals. 


I adhered pearl beads to the center of the Shasta Daisy and Baby's Breath using Glossy Accents for dimension. Also tucked in the Olive Branch cut from white cardstock for foliage.

Give Flight to your Dreams Card

Hello!

Today, I have a card to share with you using the Fab Cheery Lynn Design dies. I love creating cards with this colour combination it works for so many different occasions. Also using the frame dies like the Chicken Wire on the base of a card easily gives depth to your card.
I used the Sweet Christine, Tea Rose Medium and the Judy's Blooms with a center from the Embellishment #2 set. Added pearls to the centers and tucked in the Olive Branches and Wheat Heads for foliage. 

The stamped image was cut with the Circles Shape, layer on top of the Scalloped Circle and then on to the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frame. The Horizon Circle was inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and highlighted with a glitter pen.
The Butterfly was die cut from white cardstock and I used a blue Glimmer Mist Spray to add colour. I backed the Butterfly with a light Kraft sprayed cardstock. Layered up onto the Horizon Fishtail Banner and the stamped label trimmed from the Paris Signs 4 die. I added small pearls to the die cuts.

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 Branch, You’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.com) and 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.
