Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this flower pot card using Cheery Lynn Designs Dies with you today! I have seen several of these cards and I wanted to make one for my mother for Mother's Day this year. So I thought I would make one early to make sure it comes out the way I wanted it to look. OMGosh! If you haven't made one of these flower pot cards in the past...I highly recommend you trying to make your first. They are truly beautiful! 

The base is 3.5 x 9 inches. Scored at 2 inches and 5.5 inches. I then cut 1 inch off the top of the 2 border and added the "border carnivale" in white for the edge. I layered some ribbon  around the whole top and added a bow towards the left side. I then die cut 3 sets of the "sunflower set" in yellow and placed some black gala glitz in the centers for a bit of bling.  The 2 largest "leafy flourish"were placed behind the flowers and then I added 2 of the smaller "leafy flourish" to drape down onto the flower pot. 

The insert with flowers and your personal message is 2.75 x 5 inches. I stamped a sentiment on the left hand corner and added 3 small butterflies from "mini dimensional butterflies". There are so many cute butterflies to choose from this set. I layered them in white cardstock to make it pop out a bit.  

Hope your enjoyed my flower pot card today! 

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends! It's Karen sharing another

new release card with you today!

I first started by creating my card base in orange designer paper.

Then, layered a black and white designer paper to that top.

Using the Expandable Tiny Borders and Border Carnivale,

I added these layers and tucked them under the main 

small diamond designer paper!

Next, I die cut the Trick or Treat die, and distress inked the 

sentiment in several colors.  I poured some distressed crackle, and once dried,

 I distressed inked in some walnut stain distress, so that cracks 

would really stand out!

Then, I cut out the Rose Leaf Strip, 

Build a Flower #1 (for center of flower), and the Daisy Strip!  Each piece 

was distress inked and I also added some distress glitter to the flower center!!

Finally, I die cut the Horrible Cat and  two of the Jack-O'-Lanterns!

Then, poured some distressed glitters to the top of each of these dies.

I just love the sparkly and amazing texture this adds to the dies!

I also added a few Ivy Strip die cuts to the top of the smaller pumpkin and 

also to the top of the medium size pumpkin.  

I added some Glossy Accents to each of the ivy leaves for some added shine! 

You would be amazed at the sparkly, shiny and crackly texture on this card!
