Thanks for the Fabulous Time Card for Cheery Lynn Designs!

Goodmorning lovelies,

At the moment I am totally into making Autumn cards, I don't know why maybe it's because of the pretty paper collections & dies I get to work with!

For this card I used two new paper collections from 49 and Market named "Scents of Nature"and "Looking Through" in the last one there are these lovely fairy & mushrooms pictures that you can cut out. That got me thinking I had those cute mushroom dies that I wanted to use for a long time and it totally was a wonderful fit for this card.

Thanks for the Fabulous Time:

Oh how I love that B296 - Tiny Bubbles Borders die it can be used for serveral occations such as summer cards/layouts but also fall, spring and winter projects. This time I added some mixed media products like sprays by Lindy's Stamp Gang and that amazing "bubbles stamp" by 49 and Market {designed by Gabrielle Pollacco who was a guest designer at Cheery Lynn Designs some time ago}

The thanks stamp is by Joy design! The flower is made by two flowers that I have combined I wetted the flowers and wrinkled them a little en then I dried them. Underneath the flower I added the gorgeous B179 - Iris Leaves & B206 - Mini Leaf Set that I got in my latest DT pack.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:
XL-2 - Square Scalloped Stackers Nesting Dies
B296 - Tiny Bubbles Borders
B365 - Faerie Mushrooms
B259 - Daisy Strip
SF-2 - Stacker Flower #2
B179 - Iris Leaves
B206 - Mini Leaf Set

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day....

The papers & Flowers I used for my layout are from 49 and Market. The collections are called "Scents of Nature" & "Vintage Artistry"{my fav} and I really love this color combination I have used it twice before.

I gessod the chipboard pieces first to later on add different acrylic paints. I distressed all the edges on my layout to give it a gruncy look and a beachy feeling. The flower clusters are treated with gesso, Lindy's Stamp Gang shimmer sprays and I added some of the 3D balls on there too.

Moments That Last a Lifetime Card for Cheery Lynn Designs!

Hi everyone,
Today I have a card for you all in one of my latest post I told you I love making flowers and this time I would like to show you two different canvas flowers that I made with two different dies from Cheery Lynn! For this card I wanted to go with the earth tones from the amazing "Vintage Artistry" collection by 49 and Market. I bought some canvas fabric in two different colors and I still had some bookbind stuff in my stash that I could use one the backside of the canvas to give it more body and so it wouldn't fall in to pieces while cutting it.

Moments That Last a Lifetime:

I think my canvas flowers turned out amazing. I love them to bits!! This was such a great card to make. Lately I really enjoy making cards more than I could have imagined.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

CASO-16 - Nesting Doll Oval #1 {set of 6}

B370 - Birch Tree With Cute Critters

SF-6 - Stacker Flower #6

C184 - Judys Blooms

B666 - Fern Leaf

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Sweet Moments Round Canvas Challenge #5 "Everything Besides Square" for CraftAddiction!

Goodmorning everyone,

It's the beginning of the month so there is a challenge going on at the Craft Addiction challenge site right here ==> "Challenge Blog" <== this time you can make everything you would like but if it's square you are out, this was a really hard challenge for me because I normally do layouts. I am not so good in making off the page projects but I thought well I need to give this a go. I am not so happy with this picture because I really love when it has a lighter background but hey it will do. I had I round canvas still in my stash so I used that one for this project.

Sweet Moments:

For this canvas I used pretty products from "49 and Market" and also from "The Dusty Attic"to compliment all the products I used from the Craft Addiction store. It was a lot of fun making this but I have to say that I will stick on making layout & cards lol.

I love me some metal pieces so here I used a pen nip with the word notes on it en also two metal pebbles. For this canvas I used the Powertex 3D Balls Medium, some mica flakes and prills to accent the 3D balls in giving them a bit of coloring.

All the chipboard pieces were treated with gesso from the Craft Addiction store and some acrylic paint by The Dusty Attic. The stencil I used is a new one from Gabi and I added some Decoart Crackle Paste White to it.

Craft Addiction products used:

Powertex 3D Balls Medium, PowertexRusty Powder, Ranger Mini Glossy Accents, Decoart Crackle Paste White, Tube Alleslijm, Stazon Inktkussen Jet Black, Tonic Studios Paper Distresser, Nellies Choice Plakparels 2mm wit/ivoor/zilver, Nellies Choice Plakparels 4mm wit/ivoor/zilver

Other products used:

49 and Market "Scents of Nature" Collection, 49 and Market Flowers & Stamps, Dusty Attic Chipboard, Dusty Attic Acrylic paints, BoBunny Stamp, Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays, Ranger Crackle Accents, Prills & Mica Flakes, Mica Powder & 3D Matte Gel, Cheese Cloth.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I sure hope I have inspired you to play with our challenge #5 "Everything Besides Square" this month at the Craft Addiction Challenge Blog!

Have a wonderful and sunny day!

Smile Crad for Craft Addiction and Cheery Lynn Designs!

Goodmorning lovelies,
Flowers, flowers, flowers, who doesn't love flowers? Well I am a huge sucker for flowers especially when they are made with Cheery Lynn dies. I so enjoy making them myself. For today's card I used two different collections by Maja Design and two amazing dies to make the flowers on my card.

The color palette is like my latest layout I made for Maja Design that was posted on my blog before this post if you click here => Amy's Pretty Papers <= you can see more of my work.

For this card I used a bunch of products from the Craft Addiction webshop where I have a spot on their DT

Smile:

The color palette I used is black and white plus one, but for this card I added two colors orange and green for the leaves because in my opinion leaves are supposed to be green. I cut my B312 - Burlap Border in uneven strips to make the card more shabby chic and placed them behind my flower like I did with the leaf dies. At the end I added a pretty dot stamp and some cute feathers.
