Flower Girl

If you have been visiting my blog, you'll know the two favourite elements I love to use on my cards are stamps and dies.  I love stamps that allow me to colour (so therapeutic), and fun dies to add interest to the card.  This card is a little more elaborate than my usual cards, and took me a little longer to put together.  The sweet Flower Girl image was coloured using Copic Markers and cut out.  Then I assembled the card using several dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and My Favorite Things.

Here's a closer look :

The pink heart was die-cut out and embossed using the matching heart die as the blue patterned paper and popped up with foam adhesive

Mini rosettes

I wished I looked half as sweet as this Pure Innocence Flower Girl years ago when I was a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding.  Hope you like the card.

I'll be back on Monday with a new Daisy Doodles challenge project.  Have a fabulous weekend!!

Playing with New Dies

Hello Everyone.  I hope you are having a great week so far.  I'm so tired helping my sister organise an event last weekend, but we're happy it turned out pretty well.

Today, I'm sharing some cards made recently with some new dies I got to play with.  These dies are awesome!!

Here's the first card - I used the new Bo Bunny Gabrielle 6x6 pad (so beautiful papers!) for this card.  I hope you can see all the gorgeous details in those die cut butterflies - they are the Dimensional dies by Cheery Lynn Designs.  On hindsight, I think I should have inked the die before embossing the butterflies for more dimension.

Here's the second card.. notice that beautiful doily behind the lampshade?  I love it!!  It's called Italian Flourish doily and it's just amazing.

The last card has a more detailed doily - Kiwi Doily.  I love the details in the doily and how beautiful it looks.  There's embossing and piercing all in just one die.  How awesome is that!

I guess you can tell how much fun I've had with the new Cheery Lynn Designs dies.  I think I'm going to have to collect more of the CLD dies. 

Till the next post... have a lovely day!
