Copy Cat Card!


Hello Everyone,

Do you remember the card below that I posted back on the Cheery Lynn Design Blog and here on Friday, July 25, 2014? The card was called Christmas in July!


Do you see the similarity between the two cards? The Card "Map" or sketch is the same. A flip of the large flower, another flower instead of the snowflake and created using a different colour palette.



I love how using the same Cheery Lynn Design dies in different colours can create spectacular results! Try doing this with a favourite card of yours!


As you can tell the Fishtail Banners are a favourite of mine! I find them so versatile. I even used pieces from the top of the largest Fishtail banner to tuck under the tears of the pattern paper.


I also mimicked the writing on the pattern paper to my Shasta Daisy flower by stamping on each layer before assembling them. Applied a little ink to the edges and a rhinestone!

So next week I am challenging myself to work with the colour pink.  So make sure to check in next Friday and see what I have come up with!

Dies used:
Shasta Daisy - B310

Sweet Christine - B434

Coved Rectangle - XM-10
Scalloped Coved Rectangle - DL195
Horizon Fishtail Banners (3 Dies) - DL278

Tiny Fanciful Flourish Right & Left (Set of 2) - B387


I hope you will play along in our weekly Challenge 151 - Die Cut Flowers. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store!

Thanks for joining me today!

Take care,
Corina Finley

Just for You Card!


Hello Friends,

I wanted to share my 'Regal' red toned card made for You! I am very pleased how this card turned out. I hope you like it too!


I enjoy using the small Gardenia Flower die. Such beautiful layers. To create the center of the flower, I used my tweezers to roll the center - the four petal layer. I formed and curled each petal with a stylus on a piece of foam. I then adhered each layer together.


The layering of the Ambergris Doily and the Polynesian Sails Mini doily worked great! Each and every layer adds depth, richness and detail. 


Dies used:

You (Set of 2) - B235


I hope you will play along in this weeks Challenge on the Cheery Lynn Site - Things with Wings

Take care,

Celebrate Fall Card

Hello Everyone!

Here with you on this cold September day! I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada and it is 100% Fall here. There was so much frost on the grass yesterday morning that my three year old started yelling "Momma, it snowed!"




To celebrate my favourite time of year - I decided to create a Fall themed card using both sets of the Cheery Lynn Small Leaves, I used the Fall Leaf Doily as a base for my Leaf arrangement. |I added burlap, twine and Cheery Lynn Wheat Heads through out.


Above is a close up of my Leaf Arrangement. Using the same technique as I used last week - I first took my ink pad (Gathered Twig) and gently tapped on to the leaf dies. Making sure that I only applied ink on to the top of the ridges - image/pattern part. I then ran it through my Big Shot.

Voila, my leaves have so much more depth to them!

Crimped Flower Card!


Hello

Today, I am sharing a card that I made last night! I started off playing with Cheery Lynn flowers of course! Trying a "new to me" technique on the light brown (Tea Dye) Cherry Blossom flower.


I lightly spritz the back of each layer with water and folded/crimped each petal with my fingers. I placed each layer to the side and let it dry. I then used my styles in the center around the small hole that is die cut into each layer. This gave each layer a cupped shape and the petal edges were not flattened.

I enjoyed making them and I know I will have to experiment on the other Cheery Lynn Flower Dies.


I also used the Clocks Embossing Plate to create texture and pattern to my card base. I first took my ink pad (Tea dye) and gently tapped on to the embossing plate. Making sure that I only applied ink on to the top of the ridges - image/pattern part. I then ran it through my Big Shot. Not only is my card base embossed but it is also stamped with ink! I love this technique!  

Try this technique out and enter it in NEXT weeks challenge "All about Textures" - on the Cheery Lynn Blog. This new challenge starts on Sunday!


Dies Used:

Sweet Christine - B434
