Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge - Frame It

The current challenge over at Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge is 'Frame It' and here is my card:

The image is from A Touch of Elegance cd-rom from Creative Crafting World which I took into Serif Craft Artist to change it to decoupage.  The backing paper is from the same cd-rom.

The frame is the beautiful Polynesian Sails Oval from Cheery Lynn Designs together with the Polynesian Sails Angel Wing.  I added some tiny gems to the image and some slightly large ones to the frame.  Finally I added some red roses and a Happy Birthday peel off to complete the card.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

CD Sunday Challenge - Quilted Fun

This is my entry into the current challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge which this time has a theme of Quilted Fun:

I used the fab Bo Bunni cd-rom from Crafters Companion to make my card.  I used pink card from PaperMill and die cut the decorative edge using a Spellbinders Borderabilities die.  I embossed some silver card to create a mat to sit the main design on.  Bo Bunni is decoupaged and I cut the wording using my Tattered Lace sentiment dies and then added them to the card.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge - Anything Goes

This is my entry into the current challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs.  To enter the challenge you must use at least one Cheery Lynn Designs die.  I love their dies so it was very easy for me to comply!

The image and backing paper on my card are printed from Card Creations Plus Flowers in Bloom cd-rom. It's a beautiful cd-rom.  I printed the main image onto glossy photo paper and die cut the doily using Cheery Lynns' Nautical Wheeler Doily die from purple pearlescent card. I then diecut 2 smaller doilies (using the same die) from white and yellow card.

I printed the backing paper onto pearlescent paper for a softer look and inked around the edges using Dusky Concorde Distress Ink.  I stamped a birthday sentiment from Lili of the Valley onto white card using the same Distress ink and created a butterfly from Martha Stewart paper clay.

I die cut a second large doily from purple pearlescent card which I used on the back of the stepper card to write the message.
