A LASTING MEMORY CARD

Hello,
I am Anita Kejriwal , the new DT on the Cheery Lynn blog and I thank you for giving me this opportunity.
Today, I bring to you a stepper card based in the current challenge -RED WHITE AND BLUE. As usual, I,ve tried to adorn my cards with flowers . I have used the heartland America doily die to cut two hearts. One I have embossed and hand cut and the other has been cut completely. Then these are overlapped to give dimension to my card. Please find below, the list of all the supplies used.
So here is my card.

Gardenia Strip - B339
Daisy Lace Frame - FRM118

Make a Wish!

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a birthday card using the Make a Wish sentiment! I love the two sizes mixed together on a card. I began by texturing some mixed media card stock. I cut the Make a wish out of the Stone Grunge texture plate--and then I hand-colored the paper with Spectrum Noir markers and rubbed with metallic creams. The square background was created similarly with Mixed Media Card Stock. I then stamped with a deckle stamp the background and rubbed creams to create the color. A border Strip with the Dancing Doily lace was added to one edge of the textured square. A "candle: was created with a rolled up 2" strip of paper--the edges were rubbed with metallic rubs as well. Finally a Sweet Christine flower was colored with markers and glittered. It was then cut into flame shapes and added to the candle using a toothpick to hold it in place. Finally a few more Sweet Christine Flowers were colored and glittered. A pearl bead was added to the centers as a final touch.

Springtime Thanks with Rhonda

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

The weather here has been incredibly beautiful! Our plants are coming in nicely and everything is so vibrant and pretty right now. This card today was inspired by the pretty colors of Spring!

I used the Anastasia Border to frame in my second layer. On top of that I used my Scalloped Rectangle Cardmaker Classic. The Ivy Corner Flourish was next and anchors in the Shuttered Window with Flower Box.

Once I selected my background layers I knew I wanted to use the Window as my focal point of the card. I cut a piece of vellum and laid a piece of cheese cloth on top to layer behind the windowframe to soften the look. I tucked behind the Sentiment Frame on the very top.

Designer's Tip: To attach the vellum and cheese cloth, I used a tiny stapler on the top of the window frame. The staples are hidden and it was easier to secure than with glue.

A mixture of tiny florals from the Babies Breath Flower Kit were mixed in with my Princess Tree to resemble lilacs. I then added some Roses into the Flower Box and a Daisy on the right side to anchor it. I added a few gems and glitter glue to finish off my card.
