Good Morning!

 It's time for another FUN Challenge over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Check out your inspiration this time:

 

 

I will admit, right here, right now, that these are difficult cards for me to create, almost as tough as making a CAS design.....almost.  But this is what I came up with.  I think at one point I just kept adding layers lol  They don't call it a Challenge for nothing!

 



 

 

 

 

Of course I started with Pure Luxury White card stock by Gina K Designs.  I then started to create a 'base panel' of sorts.  I used the MFT Vertical Frame die cut and then proceeded to place a Lattice die cut from the Garden Gate Kit by Papertrey Ink.  If you look closely you may be able to see it.  These were layered over a doily which I cut in half, a piece on either side.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I just started decorating and topping that panel.  Die cuts in; Paper Smooches, Foliage 3, Poppy Stamps, Dogwood Blossom Corner, MFT Fancy Flourish and Impression Obsession Birds.  All layered in there.  Finally topping with that magnificent butterfly by Crafty Ann, Butterfly 6.  Then I grabbed my Adhesive Pearls. Started with the flower centers.  Then the bird's eyes.  Then willy nilly all over, really no rhyme or reason......as you can tell.  lol

 

 

 

Lots of texture.

 

 

Lots of dimension.

 

I must say this was kind of fun to create.  No sentiment.....I have a bad record with all white cards and inks! 

 

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!  You'll be glad you did because there is a wonderful prize up for grabs!

 

Thanks for flitting in.

 

Enjoy~~







Celebrate!

Good Monday Morning! 

 

Back again on the Dies R Us Blog to share one last card with you all. 

 

Today is my last post on the DRU Design Team, what a FUN year this has been.  I'd like to thank Dani, the owner of Dies R Us for this wonderful experience!  I would also like to thank our wonderful Design Team Coordinator, Darlene.....she was AMAZING at keeping us in line and focused. Darlene, this has been a pleasure, all because of you.  THANK YOU!

 

I wanted to create a White on White card, I haven't made many of these in my crafting career.  They are hard to photograph.  And after putting it all together I spritzed it with some Gold Color Shine.   

 

 

This card measures 4 1/4 squared.  I started with a Spellbinders Captivating Squares die cut, actually 2 from this set, layered upon each other with a piece of Fun Foam in between.  My flower is a Small Gardenia by Cheery Lynn.  My foliage is by Paper Smooches, Foliage 2 and Foliage 3.  I also added 2 leaves from the Poppies die set by Frantic Stamper.   

 

 

Lastly I added the Curly Words - Celebrate die by Die Versions.  A bunch of Adhesive Pearls for accents.  I wish I had taken a photo of this prior to spritzing with the Gold, it might have photographed better. 

 

 

 

 

Here's what I used:

 

 

 

Cheery Lynn
