Hello there sweet Cheery Lynn friends!

It's Karen here, sharing my "anything goes" challenge car.  Today, marks two years since I became a Cheery Lynn Designs Team Member.  It's very bittersweet posting my last blog entry for this amazing company!  On that note, I thought this sentiment was fitting for expressing my gratitude for all your lovely comments throughout my term here as DT member.  If you happen to follow my blog, I will still be promoting the use of these gorgeous and intricate dies!

I love to layer, so basically, I started with the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker die as my base.  Next, layered the Horizon Fishtail Banner right on top of the French Flair piece.  Then, I  die cut the Pierced Stacker #2 and stamped my sentiment.  I layered this onto the Circle Classic Silver Stacker, 

and then place it onto the Daphne Doily! You will notice that I intentionally left some of the pieces within the doily for a slightly different look.

Then, I made a blue daisy using the Daisy Strip! I die cut the Leafy Flourish and Leaf sets and placed them both underneath my flower. I added a sweet rhinestone flourish as well!  Lastly, I cut out one of the butterflies from my Small Exotic Butterflies set, and added a few shiny pearls.

Hi again!  It's Holly posting today as the guest designer for February, and I've got a delicate card to share with you.  I had this idea in mind for several weeks, but I didn't want to add any greenery because it would clash with the colors I had in mind..  Then it hit me - vellum!  By cutting out all the leaves and flourishes with vellum, it gives my card a sweet and delicate look.

I've used the following Cheery Lynn Designs dies on this card:

Daisy Strip

Leaf

Wreath Strip

Flourish Leaf Strip

Fanciful Flourish

Fanciful Flourish Left

Concentric Circles Mesh border

Coved Rectangle Classic LG (XL-10)

Try using some vellum for some of your die cut pieces on a project.  It's a great way to enhance the look of your project without changing your entire color scheme.  Thanks for visiting with me today!  I hope to see you again next Friday.  :-)
