Just Because with Bonnie Garby

Hi there. Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft with a card featuring some of the gorgeous new release dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Don't you just LOVE this gorgeous fern die? It is absolutely beautiful. I cut it down a little for the card, but that's the beauty. It's nice and big if you are doing a layout, but you can also snip it down by removing some of the base fronds if you want it a little smaller.

I cut the Lotus Flower in pink card stock and I inked the edges lightly. I then shaped the leaves with my stylus to give it some shape and I added it over the ferns with foam tape to pop it up a bit.

Cheery Lynn Dies Used:
DL318 Fleur de Lis Square Doily
B681 Fleur de Lis Tag
B697 Lotus Flower
B666 Fern
L-4 Circle Classic Silver Stacker Large

My card is topped off with a big double-loop bow made with Sherbet Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It was created on my Bow-it-All V2.0 Tool.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Don't forget to head over and play along with our bi-weekly challenge for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Cheery Lynn Designs Store.

Spring Bouquet for Mum by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 10 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's Julie here today. Spring has definitely sprung here in Scotland and this weekend we also celebrate Mothering Sunday. So I decided with all this in mind to make a Mother's Day Card.

I started by layering up paper which was distressed at the edges and the Mini Italian Flourish was cut out in white card and inked with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.

I then layered on the co-ordinating Italian Flourish Doily which I had folded in to a concertina and opened back up to give texture, it had also been inked in the same way. You will see I used the Trellis Die for the stems of my flowers.

I Love these Bows, a perfect accompaniment to a bouquet of flowers.

I got carried away and forgot to take some more ongoing pictures, so here are the close ups. Notice I have some closed buds as well as flowers about to open to add a realistic look to the flowers.
