Fall Leaves, Garden Gate and Chrysanthemums Card: Guest Designer, Kathy Clement

Hello, Friends!

Kathy Clement here with another guest designer project for Cheery Lynn. I am having so much fun playing with my Cheery Lynn dies!  Today I have another colorful fall card to share with you featuring Fall Leaves, the Garden Gate and Chrysanthemum Strip Die.

I had some fun experimenting with the dies this time around.  The Fall Leaves were die cut from corrugate, then sprayed with various mica sprays.  I love the texture this added, and I was thrilled so see how well the dies cut through the corrugate material.  The flourishes on either side of the sentiment panel are from the Pumpkin Patch die set. 

The Chrysanthemum Strip die is a joy to work with!  I love how quick and easy it is to die cut loads of pretty flower layers.  I die cut these from Carta Bella's Fall Blessing paper collection, then shaped and layered them, adding a gem to the center of each blossom.

The garden fence was die cut from Tim Holtz woodgrain watercolor paper.  I love the wonderful texture this added to the die cut.  To give the fence an aged appearance, I blended a little Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Distress Ink randomly onto the surface, then spritzed with water.

I hope you found some inspiration in this project.  It's wonderful to work with dies that cut so easily and make such pretty embellishments!

Thanks for joining me!
Cheerio,
kathy
