Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge - Snowflakes Theme

Good Afternoon

This is my entry into the current challenge over at Cheery Lynn Designs which this week has a theme of 'Snowflakes':

The base card was printed from Pollyanna Pickering's Snow and Ice dvd-rom, as was the image of the beautiful red panda,  I die cut the gorgeous Cheery Lynn Nautical Wheeler Doily from White pearlescent paper and added Gold Embossing Powder around the edges.

The snowflakes were die cut using a Cheery Lynn die, then heat embossed firstly using Crystal Transparent Embossing Powder and then adding a touch of gold embossing powder.

The Seasons Greetings sentiment was die cut from gold holographic card.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

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.
