Summer Bouquet

Hi and Good Morning everyone, Alison here again today, showing more inspiration using some of the gorgeous new release Cheery Lynn Designs dies, as well as some of my favourite classic dies too! :)

I used a 6 x 6 blank card base, and layered K&Co papers onto white bazzill card. I placed the gorgeous Dainty Dutch Deco Doily, on top of the base layer of paper and added die cut square and scalloped square mats.

I made the border using the brilliant Alisons's Ribbons (these are so versatile!) and layered the Sophias Heart Border on top. I coloured my image in PM's and matted it onto the oval scalloped and oval silver stackers, and the stunning new Horizon Oval Boutique Frames.

The heart embellishment was created using 2 layers of the different sized Two of Hearts, and I cut a contrasting piece of paper for the centre heart too. I added a super-cute bumble bee and also my signature butterfly (Oh.. I use this butterfly on everything!).

The pretty flowers were made from the quick and easy Sweet Williams Strip secured with a pearl brad, and I added some leaves, pearls and a pin for a finishing touch.

All dies used on this card are:

DL141 - Dainty Dutch Deco Doily
XL-2 - Scalloped Square Stackers
L-1 - Classic Square Silver Stackers
B335 - Alisons Ribbons
B333 - Sophias Heart Border
DL252 - Horizon Oval Boutique Stackers
L-7 - Oval Classic Stackers
XL-8 - Oval Scalloped Stackers
B241 - Rose Leaf Strip
B178 - Flourish Leaf Strip
B307 - Sweet Williams Strip
DL128 - Two of Hearts
B266 - Tiny Things with Wings
DL112 - Small Exotic Butterflies

Thanks so much for visiting our blog today, and I hope you find time to join in our challenge this week where our theme is 'Doilies'.

Have a smashing week!
