Flower Card by Julie Lavalette

For our Cheery Lynn Designs April Blog Hop, please scroll down or click HERE.

Hello everyone, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog. Our current challenge is Handmade Flowers and I couldn't resist joining in the fun using our wonderful new Sunflower set.

I started by die cutting out my Cardmaker die and trimmed to be the perfect size to Matt and layer onto my Kraft Cardstock and card which measures around 6 inches square.

I made my sunflower in the same way to this card HERE, but this time I just added the leaves onto it. I love the size of this flower as a main focal image on a card.

I would love to see a Hummingbird in real life, they look to be such beautiful little birds. I die cut mine out twice and shaded with inks after looking at some photos on Google. I then heat embossed with Clear Embossing powder and went around the edges with a little Gilding Wax, layering up both layers and finishing off with a drop of Black Liquid Pearls onto the eye.

My sentiment was stamped onto my banner and I fussy cut a shadow background to make it pop.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments we received on Blog Hop day. I enjoyed reading them so much, both on my blog and here at Cheery Lynn Designs. If you haven't seen the New North American Release dies, please check them out HERE.
