Faery Dreams

 

Good Morning - Alison here today :)  I hope everyone is having a really good week so far.

 

Our challenge this week is the ever popular 'Anything Goes' and you still have lots of time to enter.  As always the winner will receive a fab $20 voucher to spend online in the Cheery Lynn Store.

 

My card today is an 8 x 8 inch gatefold card, so it opens in the middle and this makes a really nice change as a canvas.  I used First Edition 12 x 12 Spring papers and 12 x 12 Coordinations textured card which I sanded to give a shabby look.

 

I bordered each panel with the gorgeous Celtic Chain border, this is 8 inches long and is perfect for these larger projects, and added a couple of Fanciful Flourishes to the base. 

 

 

I then matted my image onto Coved and Scalloped Coved Rectangles, and I hooked 10 Lace Corner deco dies behind the image to create an ornate frame. The flowers are made using the Daisy Strip die - this is such a classic flower, and I offset the petals a little to give it a bit of fantasy look. The sentiment is backed onto the Sophie's Heart Mini Doily, and I added a couple of butterflies to finish.

 

All dies used on this card are:

 

B202 - Celtic Chain

B117 - Fanciful Flourish

XM-11 - Scalloped Coved Rectangles

L-10 Coved Rectangle Classic

B162 - Lace Corner Deco B

DL238 - Sophie's Heart Mini Doily

DL112AB - Small Exotic Butterflies #1

DL113AB - Small Exotic Butterflies #2

B259 - Daisy Strip
