The Songbird by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it’s JULIE here today and I’m sharing a vintage styled card using some papers I picked up recently at a car boot sale, along with a few other bargains.

I started by tattering edges of my base layer and heat embossed some gold powder onto the edges. Adding layers with coordinating papers, a little cheesecloth for a shabby look and my bird with embossing powder also at the edges.

My flowers were all cut out from coordinating papers and shaped on my Embossing mat and stamens added into the centres. I then arranged my floral arrangement onto my card along with leaves and flourishes.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Songbirds are all starting to sing. It's so lovely to hear them happy now that Spring has arrived.....unless it's 5 o'clock in the morning ! So my card today was taken from inspiration of the blossom filled trees and these beautiful birds.

I started by layering up a couple of my stacker dies to form the frame of my card. I love how the inverted scallops give the appearance of a postage stamp edge.

My branches were all cut out in textured Green Cardstock and I went over the branch area with a Brown Copic Pen. I then shaded a small piece of White Cardstock with a few shades of ink and then die cut out my flowers and added a little Stickles into the centres.

My sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper.

My sweet little birds were shaded with Distress inks to look like a Robin and a Blue Tit. I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for their eyes and highlighted the details of the die with a Fine Liner pen. If you google an image of the kind of bird you want to colour on your die, I find this makes it easy to shade them.

Our Current Challenge is Mothers Day and I do hope you get a chance to join in for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the wonderful comments you leave. I love reading them and appreciate them so much.

Howdy by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a card using this adorable Clarabell the Cow from the new release. If you missed yesterday's post scroll down and you can see all the new Cheery Lynn July release dies HERE. My card was inspired by the current White-on-White Challenge.

I used a cream colored 5.5" card base and layered the largest Horizon Square Boutique Stacker on top cut out of a shimmery card stock. Then I layered an English Tea Party Doily die cut, cut with bright white card stock on top of that. The center of the doily was cut out with the second smallest of the Silver Stacker Circle dies. Clarabell the Cow was cut with a piece of the base card stock and the Howdy was cut again in white and paper pieced inside for contrast. I also replaced Clarabell's eyebrows with white ones.

The flowers were made using a molding mat, stylus tool and the Tea Rose Medium die. I used a shimmery darker cream card stock for the flowers. The leaves are from the Branches die. Last I thought Clarabell needed a little flair so she's wearing the hat from the Arizona Cowboy die set.
