Enjoy by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a card inspired by Cheery Lynn's new Autumn Colors Challenge. I began this card by cutting a light blue piece of card stock with the Card Cover Maker #4 and gluing it to an A2 layer of glittery patterned paper.

I then cut Enjoy and the butterfly from the Small Exotic Butterflies #1 die and colored them with distress ink. To make the flowers I used the Black Eyed Susan Strip die and sponged yellow and orange distress ink on the centers before molding them with a styling tool and gluing the petals together. To finish off the flowers I used a quilling tool to curl the centers that I had colored with green and brown distress ink.

I added greens and mushrooms around the flowers, glued the butterfly in place and then added stickles to the butterfly's wings so he'd sparkle like the background paper.

Enjoy with Jenny Alia

Hi, Happy Thursday! It's Jenny posting today. I began this card by looking through my design papers. I wanted a soft looking card but then added the blue accents because it seemed to need more contrast.

I started by layering the background onto a blue 5.5" card. I cut the cream layer a little smaller and glued the green design paper layer on top which was cut with the largest French Flair Stacker. I then layered cream paper cut with the Royal Scandinavian Doily, blue paper cut with a smaller French Flair Stacker and then topped them with the Royal Scandinavian Tag #1 and the word Enjoy. All three of the top layers were adhered using foam adhesive.

The Ivy Corner Flourish was cut out of blue paper. The flowers were created by cutting the Sweet Williams die out of a shimmery cream card stock. The edges were inked with broken china distress ink and they were crumpled and stacked. The flower centers and little flowers on the ivy are from the Embellishment #2 die and then pearls were added.
