Give Flight to Your Dreams by Corina Finley

Hello!

Today, I have a card to share with you using the fab Cheery Lynn Design dies. I love creating cards with this colour combination, it works for so many different occasions. Also using the frame dies like the Chicken Wire on the base of a card easily gives depth to your card.

I used the Sweet Christine, Tea Rose Medium and the Judy's Blooms with a center from the Embellishment #2 set. Added pearls to the centers and tucked in the Olive Branches and Wheat Heads for foliage.

The stamped image was cut with the Circles Shape, layer on top of the Scalloped Circle and then on to the Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frame. The Horizon Circle was inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and highlighted with a glitter pen.

The Butterfly was die cut from white cardstock and I used a blue Glimmer Mist Spray to add colour. I backed the Butterfly with a light Kraft sprayed cardstock. Layered up onto the Horizon Fishtail Banner and the stamped label trimmed from the Paris Signs 4 die. I added small pearls to the die cuts.

Thankful Harvest by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Farmers are now ploughing their fields and bringing in their Harvest, which made me think of this wonderful New Release die 'Thankful Harvest'. I love the versatility of it as it suits Thanksgiving cards perfectly and would also be lovely on an Autumn Birthday card or a Recipe Book project to name a few.

I cut out my centre square, highlighting the stitches with a Fineliner pen, also using my Burlap Border as a die cut and a stencil to add some extra interest on to the background.

My Wheatheads I layered twice for extra dimension adding the little bow double layered from the Mistletoe Die.

My Thankful Harvest I cut out in White Cardstock and started to shade the fruit and vegetables with my Copics and the basket I shaded with inks. I filled my Pumpkins and Pepper, layering up twice for a 3D look. My Grapes I kept all the small bits of waste, shaping them on my embossing mat and gluing back in place with a little Silicone glue to raise them up, finally added Glossy Accents to give them a sheen. My corn I had embossed with my die (TECHNIQUE HERE) trimming around the cob and shading with Copics before gluing in place.
