Midnight Madness sketch

This pretty sketch is from Priscilla's Midnight Madness blog.  I just cut the layers and edged everything with a silver pen, the French flair scalloped die cut on the front is from Cheery Lynn, as well as the olive branches and pine branches.  The cute glittered circles are from Michaels and they come in lots of colors.  The saying is an old Hero Arts stamp and I added a bow to finish the card. 

Doily challenge, and many more

Our challenge this week at Cheery Lynn is to use doilies!!  I took this challenge very seriously, I started by cutting the French Pastry doily and using the Canadian Kaleidoscope and cutting it apart to make the oval on the top and bottom behind the French Pastry.  I then cut a standard circle from Cheery Lynn, laid it over the ribbon and stamped this pretty circle with a butterfly in the center from Botanical butterflies from  Classy Cards I cut an Exotic butterfly medium #2 and #3.    The butterfly #3 fit perfectly over the butterfly on the image. I added some gems to finish the butterflies.  The corners are the inside doily die that is part of the Polynesian Sails Oval and I cut it apart to make the corners.  The Fanciful flourish frames the doily and I added some prima flowers and a pearl stick pin.  Have you seen the beautiful flower dies from Cheery Lynn, they are next on my wish list, you can make gorgeous matching flowers with these dies!! Check them out!
I will be adding this to the following challenges

Thinking of you with Cheery Lynn Doilies

The challenge this week on Cheery Lynn is using doilies, I love these french flair dies and the french flair doilies.  I started the 6x6 card with the classic french flair die, then I used the gorgeous french flair doily and cut it to make the borders. I trimmed those at the top with some pretty ribbon and topped them with the gorgeous oval doily stacker.  The top butterfly is the exotic butterfly #3 large and bottom one is the pretty exotic butterfly medium.  I trimmed everything in a gold pen and added it to the centers of the butterflies also. All of the layers have vintage photo distressed ink sponged around the edges.  I used a peel off saying for this card.  This is also for the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge, Things with Wings!

Classy Cards N Such

I just found this wonderful blog called Classy Cards N Such.  I love the challenges on here and this week's is flowers on your cards.  This card is made with the pretty rose from Just Rite's sympathy set, I just love this flower.  I colored it with copics, cut it out and then colored and cut two extra roses to pop up on the image.  I took a 6x12 piece of cardstock, scored at 2, 4, 8, 10 to make this card.  The pretty paper is from Fab Scraps, High Tea collection, gorgeous florals and matching papers, this can be purchased at Joan's garden.   I cut pieces for the borders and the inside and edged them with a gold pen.  I used Cheery Lynn dies for this card,
Border Carnivale
French Flair doily
Classic French Flair
French Flair Scalloped

Stamped Flower challenge

Our Daily Bread Stamped flower challenge inspired this card.  I started with a 6x6 white card, used a piece of floral background paper from K&Co Julianne pad, then I took 3 pieces from that booklet and backed them with a white border. I outlined all the papers in gold pen.  The sentiment panel is Cheery Lynn's scalloped french flair die cut. I stamped the small
sweet William stamp on it lightly and then the saying over the top both in weathered wood distressed ink.  The beautiful flower is Sweet William small set, stamped 6 of the medium one and one small one for the center, all cut with the two smallest matching die cuts all from Our Daily Bread Design.  The leaves are olive branches and leaf set.  I added some bling to finish the card. 

Just Rite Happy Birthday

This beautiful rose stamp is from Just Rite's Sympathy set, the cute Birthday wishes is from the Topsy turvy cake set,  and I'm using this for their Happy Birthday challenge and Cheery Lynn's lots of layers challenge. 
This card is made with the gorgeous French flair scalloped die set, then I layered the classic French flair and mixed those together.  I colored the flowers with copic markers in the BV colors and sponged Marvy violet around the edges.  I edged all the layers with an 18k gold pen and then added the bow and leaves and flowers and the cute little gem butterflies to finish the card.  The cuties and flowers from Cheery Lynn are on my wish list and I can't wait to get some so I can make my own flowers to match!!  I also am entering this into the Split Coast "best buds" interactive challenge this month, and Classy Cards N Such. 

Countryside

Countryside is the challenge on Flourishes this week.  I started the card with a French Flair scalloped die from Cheery Lynn. The oval is a spellbinder label 10, Parisian accents for the corners.  The stamp set is Swan Lake from Flourishes and I colored it with copics and the sky is weathered wood distressed ink. I added some pretty flower soft to the little flowers to give it dimension.  This card is also for Joan's Garden challenge this week, corner embellishments, green and blue and flowers and an oval.
