Yellow Rose Greeting Card by Ginny Nemchak

Ginny @ Polly's Paper Studio 3:00 AM 1 Comments

Hey there Paper Peeps! Ginny here to share a card I created with the fabby Cheery Lynn Designs Dies, layered patterned papers and a little mixed media. This card starts with an A2 sized card base with a generous amount of texture paste embossing. Then the layering begins....lots of patterns separated by solids, additional dies for texture, Stickles, vintage buttons and trim.

This lovely flower is created with the Rose and Leaves Die. A little bending and pulling and it took a nice shape then I filled in some of the gaps with Mercury Glass Stickles. There's more glitter on the leaves as well.

In the very background I've added a Mirror Mirror Doily Frame cut from white cardstock. For the focal section there's a French Pastry Doily cut from the patterned paper. I love the script. This doily was too wide for where I wanted to put it so I clipped a small bit of the side off....and flipped around the extra little piece and layered it on as well. You can never have enough layers!

Adding the Fanciful Flourish Left die cut from white helps to fill the space and create the illusion of a larger flower arrangement.

I created a little more texture for the background with the Lattice Die glued down to the patterned paper and trimmed to size.

I'm not going to go as far as saying this card is monochromatic....but it's low contrast makes it seem very vintagy and dreamy.

Best Wishes Dove Card With Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello and Happy Friday!

Today I wanted to share my Anniversary card that I created using the new Peace Dove die from the Cheery Lynn Designs July 15th release!

I started with a layered base from pattern paper and cardstock. I added stitching along the edges of the layers with white thread. Next, I die cut the Royal Scandinavian Doily from black Damask pattern paper.

The Peace Dove was cut from Music note pattern paper. There is so much detail in this Dove, from the feathers on the wings to the delicate detail on the Doves body. So Elegant! I also added two gold circles for rings.

My black embossed sentiment was stamped on to the Royal Scandinavian Tag die cut from white pattern paper.

The Cherry Blossom flower was cut from white pattern paper. I die cut the smallest layer twice and layered them on top of each other. I added a center in gold cardstock from the Embellishment #2 and added a rhinestone to the center. I used the leaf from the Rose and Leaves set and pieces from a Fanciful Flourish tucked into the sides.
