Hi and Good Morning :)  Alison here today.  Wow! we had some fab entries and yummy creations last week for our Easter Challenge, and this week we are trying to get in the mood for Spring!   I really wanted to make something bright, light and warm as we still have snow here in Scotland, and its fffffreezing! 

 

I used a 6 x 6 white card blank, and stitched Prima Papers onto white American Crafts cardstock.  This same card, and aqua blue bazzil card was used for all the dies on this card, and they came out beautifully. :)

 

I cut the gorgeous Dainty Dutch Deco frame (I love this!) and added fanciful flourish and mini flourish die-cuts, before adding a cute Penny Black image matted onto Scalloped and Square stackers.  I then layered the victorian picket fence on top, and cut out some stunning daisies in various sizes from the daisy strip die - this is such a timesaver!  I layered the daisies and held them together with a brad and then use card-candi over the top to soften the look.  I finally added some smaller daisies, leaves, butterflies, dragonfly and  tag, and finished the look off with some pearls and twine.

 

All dies used on this card are:

 

B266 - Tiny Things with Wings (dragonfly)

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

 

Our challenge this week is called 'Tag - you're it', and you still have lots of time to enter here:

 

This was a really fun project for me, as I dont often think to make tags this size.  I used a blank manilla parcel tag (6.5 x 3.5 inches) and covered it with MME xmas paper.  I then backed it onto some kraft card and inked the edges. 

 

I layered 2 of the Holly Lace Flourish dies and made the border from the Queen Anne's Lace following some of the pattern design on the paper.   I chose to make the centrepiece out of the beautiful and very elegant lacey Bell Die which comes with the fabby bow too, and layered it onto cream cardstock.  I decorated the bells with pearls and fixed it to the oval stackers.  For a fabulous finishing touch I added 3 snowflakes from set 1 and 2 of the snowflowers dies, I absolutely love these and seem to be using them on almost everything at the moment! :)

 

All dies used on this tag are:

 

 

I hope you find time to join in this week, and I look forward to seeing more lovely entries.  Dont forget there is always fresh daily inspiration over on our Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration blog too.
