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.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Happy Birthday Lynne

Today is Lynne's birthday from Handmade With Love ....By Lynne and our team leader at Crafty Calendar Challenge.  Happy Birthday Lynne, I hope you have a great day, whatever you may have planned.

This is the card I made for Lynne (which hopefully has arrived by now so I'm not spoiling the surprise!!):

I followed the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The image and backing papers are printed from the beautiful Flowers In Bloom cd-rom from Card Creations Plus.  The circle the image is sat on was cut using a Spellbinders die.  The leaves and flowers are Cheery Lynn dies and the sentiment is Tattered Lace dies.  The pearls are from my stash.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:
