Cheery Lynn - Very Very Special

Hi all, Tamara here, Wow have you seen the gorgeous creations from the design team with all those fabulous new release dies. If not click here. All the dies are fantastic from new mini dollies, borders, tiny creatures, little boxes, words and phases the list is endless. If you are not going to CHA this weekend why not pay a visit to the Cheery Lynn Store to see all the new releases. 

In the meantime take a look at what I have been creating this week

Cheery Lynn Dies 

• Build a Flower #3
• Fringe Cuties 1 & 3
• Mini Dollies - Sophie's Heart and Italian Flourish 
• Tiny Things With Wings 
• Embellishments #3
• Daisy Strip

I used the long flower petals on the BAF to create a lilly flower shaped and distressed using inks. For the middle I used the embellishments #3. I had one last sheet of kraft left which I was saving for a special card and this was it. Kraft always looks wonderful on its own or inked around the edges in DI's 

Here are some of the tiny things with wings, these are the dragon flies and in the picture below it the butterfly from the set. 

Other Craft Items 

Stamps are Saturated Canary and Lilli of the Valley Sentiment

Kraft, Coredination Card stock, Prima - Natural Garden DP

Distress Inks Walnut Satin 

Lace, Ribbon, Twirly Things and Scrim 

Here is a close up of all the flowers, I'm loving the new daisy strip. These flowers are just gorgeous!

All Coved Up!! - Coved Rectangle Easel Creation

Morning/ Afternoon/ Evening Cheery Lynn fans and welcome to Thursday.  Very nearly the weekend and only 5 more days until the exciting May Release Day (Tuesday 15th May).  Sshhh... I'll let you into a little secret.. all the new dies are simply gorgeous!!! Can't wait for you to see them..

Making shape easels are so easy using Cheery Lynn Dies they are always so effective.  This week is a first for me a Coved Rectangle Easel card. It turned out so well don't know why I haven't made one before... 

Cheery Lynn Dies I used 

Coved Rectangle XL Stackers (Purple ones), XL Scalloped Circle Stackers, Mini Exotic Butterflies, Miniature Roses, Medium Roses, Large Roses, Judy's Blooms, Lace Rose and Flourishes, SM Circle window Stackers, Reflection Dies - Lace Square Heart, Queen Anne's Lace Border, Fanciful Flourish, Dancing Doily Lace Border, Crafter' s Tools

I was so happy with the way this card turned out and with the colours that I used.  I think the

 greens and pinks go really well with the touch of brown.  

I have carried the checked paper through to the flowers and added a sprinkle of glitter.  Just peeping out from behind the flowers is that gorgeous Lace Rose and Flourishes die.  I cut the rose off and just used the flourishes.  I really wanted to used the rose so I placed it peeping out from  behind the image.  So I got two dies for the price of one.. lol

This flower I have teamed it up with the Judy's Blooms die and the Roses sprinkled with glitter.  

The inside of the easel card, love how this all came together..
