Hi everyone,

Well, I am here today with another card using a Mo Manning image.  This time it is in the form of a Hobby House Topper.

GDT at CHEERY LYNN - FRAME IT

Hi and Good Morning everyone,

I am here today sharing another card as Guest Designer for Cheery Lynn for the month of August.   

I decided to try and stretch my imagination with different ways to use the Cheery Lynn dies that I have.  I just love this frame and came up with this shaped card.  I have made one of these before but just used c6 plain rectangles.  I love the effect it has achieved and hope you do too.


The Magic Moonlight  image is centralised onto the Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame FRM140  The top inside edges are edged with the Anastasia Border B136  and I have added Frantage after first inking the frame and edges with Tim Holtz Distressing ink.

The two central inside panels have a pocket into which is placed  two Vintage Tags  These are embellished with Ambergris Tiny Doilies DL245

And finally the flowers are made up using the  Chrysanthemum Strip B311  and  Build a Flower #1 B181 dies and these have been inked too.  I had such fun making this.

Cheery Lynn  dies used:  

Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame FRM140 
Anastasia Border B136   
Ambergris Tiny Doilies DL245
Chrysanthemum Strip B311
Build a Flower #1 B181 

Magic Moonlight image coloured  Items from stash

I do hope you find time to pop over to the Cheery Lynn Blog 
where there is lots of very talented inspiration to be had, plus a fabulous Challenge too.

Thank you for looking,

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Back again with my second card this morning,
 
Here I have a Christmas card to share , again using this lovely Magnolia Tilda image.  The music topper came from EBay, but this was a few years ago, before my stamping day,so it actually came from my stash.  I must see if I can get more of those. 

I was inspired by a lovely Sketch which i followed and also the theme at TOMIC too, this governed the colours I would use. I struggled a bit with the stars, but found these lovely tiny silver ones in my stash which were a gift from a friend.


Die-cuts:  Tim Holtz, Cheery Lyn
Snowflakes:  Little punchouts from a Martha Stewart border punch (from a friend)
Tiny stars (in the centre of the snowflakes too) ( gift from a friend)
