Right onto my card for the challenge

I couldn't resist this stamp from Sweet Stamps.  This grumpy old man is called "Lyle", he is such a dream to colour up! (links at the the end of the post)

I have used one of the new release dies from Cheery Lynn. Its a border die called Burlap and as always lots of gorgeousness.  The rolled flowers are from Marianne Designs and the leaves are another from Cheery Lynn

Here's a close up of grumpy old Lyle..

and one of the flowers, which I have made out of core'dinations cardstock..

Hello all hope you are having a good weekend.  We have had a couple of centimetres here where I live not as much as some of the UK but, it does look pretty.

We are predicted a few more snow showers at the beginning of next week so fingers crossed (I love the snow) 

Well Cheery Lynn have been at CHA last week and had an amazing time and I even spotted a few of my designs that I have created for Cheery Lynn in the past. If you want to have a look at some of the photography's join the Cheery Lynn Facebook page by Clicking HERE   

Over on Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog we will have a new challenge starting tomorrow (Monday) with a chance to win a $20 coupon to spend in the Cheery Lynn Store and with all the new dies you are certainly spoilt for choice.  

I cut out the pennant twice so I could create a layered effect.  I have used distress marks to add faux stitching around the edges. The pears are not pears but petals from the new build a flower 3 die.  I threaded some natural string to create a stalk, then just distressed using walnut satin DI's 

I've had this stamp for a while and haven't inked it up.  So glad that I did as its gorgeous..
