One of a Kind Sweetheart Card

Hello!

I hope you joined us yesterday for the blog hop! If you did not get a chance yet, please do so, for a chance to win a prize! The Blog Hop starts on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog from yesterdays post and it will navigate you thru.

With this weeks challenge being Sweethearts, I thought I would add a little glitter! Using the dies to cut a piece of Be Creative tape (Sookwang) backed with cardstock is simple to do. I then remove the protective covering and sprinkle the pink glitter over. Tap off excess and burnish with my finger until glitter does not come off. I layered my die cuts, stamped my sentiment, add a few rhinestones and voila!

Dies used:

Sweethearts Edger - B309

Sophia's Heart - DL184

Nesting Doll Tags #3 (Set of 6) - CABD-121

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

Winter Snowflake Card

Hello!

Thank you for joining me. The weeks challenge theme on the Cheery Lynn Design blog is Snowflakes! I have created numerous snowflake cards over the last few months and they all have mostly been light, bright, blue and white!

I wanted to mix it up and create a snowflake card using the background pattern paper as a colour scheme. I also wanted to play with embossing powder on my die cuts. I embossed all of the layers of the snowflake, used foam dots to layer and added a rhinestone to the center.
