Dream Forever by Julie Lavalette

Hello Cheery Lynn Fans, it's JULIE here today hosting the blog and I am delighted to be sharing some more inspiration from our new Bohemian Collection on my Dream Forever card.

Have you noticed on Cheery Lynn's Stacker Dies you can get Stitched and Pierced details at the edges of these Dies or just left plain. I love all these extra touches of detail and when I looked at the details on my Mandala Doily, Cowboy Boots and Dreamweaver Dies I noticed all the Pierced details so I knew I wanted to use one of the sets of Pierced Stackers. I chose the Coved Rectangles and added an accent from the outer edge of my Mandala Doily at the edges.

My Cowboy Boots were cut out of Kraft Cardstock highlighting all the embossed detail with a Fineliner Pen and a little ink to age them. I layered the swirls and buckles on twice and added a brad onto the boot. Aren't they so cool !

I cut my Mandala Doily out of Kraft Cardstock and paper from Maja Design, layering it on top for contrast. Next I cut out the centre and added my Dreamweaver Die which had also been layered twice. I extended the tassels on my Dreamweaver and hid the joins with my pretty flowers.

I offset the feathers to look as if they are blowing in the wind and added some small feathers that I pulled out of a feather pillow for added texture.

I finished with lots of pearls and a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you manage to get some creative time this week.

Crafty Hugs,

Julie x

Forever Friends by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today. This week I thought I would showcase the versatility of our Stacker dies and how by turning them round and cutting in to the die cut shapes with another stacker you are able to achieve lots of different shapes.

You will see on these photos how I cut out my shapes and inserted in to each other for my base layer.

This photo shows my next layers and how I turned the same stacker as on the first layer around 90 degrees to give a different look.

My Butterfly was heat embossed and a pearl added.

My roses were cut out in White Cardstock and shaded with 2 colours of Distress Ink.

My words were double layered for a shadow effect and the "S" was taken from my word set Happy Christmas. Finally adding some pearls, Stickles and a Leaf Flourish to finish.

Forever Yours by Julie Lavalette

Happy Valentines Day to everyone, it's Julie here today and I am sharing with you a very Ornate Vintage Style Valentines card using lots of layers, dies and a coordinating pack of papers.

In this photograph you will see how my layers started on my card. I tattered some edges and added Distress Ink for an aged look along with a little Muslin tucked around my layers, also adding a few pearls around my clock.

My main flower, stamens were added into the centre along with a little Gesso to the edges of the petals. My Chrysanthemums were folded in half, offset, glued in place and the petals ruffled. Leaves were rubbed at the edges with a little Distress and a wooden heart added.

My heart I paper pieced back in the centre with a different shade of paper and Pearls added. The word Forever was layered twice for depth.

I colour tinted my image and added it on to the Alpine Flourish frame.

Finishing off my card by adding Pearl swirls and a delicate butterfly.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Forever Card

Hello!

Corina here, for the Friday blog post! I thought I would share with you a Wedding themed card. I believe that this card could also be given as an Anniversary Card.

I love using inks and sprays to create my colour palette. I decided to spray the medium doily (Lilith Doily) with homemade glimmer mist in Black Pearl and the Butterfly (Small Exotic Butterflies #1) with Silver Onyx. The heart (Two Of Hearts) was sprayed with Cherry Pie Dylusions. The POP of red on the beautiful heart doily is perfect!
