Cheery Lynn Guest Designer!!

I am so honored and thrilled to be a Guest Designer for the  Cheery Lynn Blog today!! If you have not checked out Cheery Lynn dies you need to make your first stop their blog, above.  The second stop is at Cheery Lynn Designs to check out their fantastic dies and embossing plates.  

This is the card I created using nine of their dies. The stamped image is Sugar Nellie's Country Garden.  She is stamped with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and colored with Copics.

Now for the most important part all the dies used.  A XL-Silver Stacker created the center oval.  The white frame is the Kiwi Oval Frame.  The flowers are from the Darling Daisies with the Fanciful Flourish creating the leaves and stems.   The grass is Grass Border.  I had to add one of Cheery Lynn's beautiful butterflies, Exotic Butterflies Small and Small Angel Wings.   Oval-Scalloped XL Stackers was used to cut the card itself and another XL Silver Stacker for the purple layer.

The Designer Paper is Die Cuts With a View, Pocket full of Posies. A Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the butterfly pearls and gems from my stash for the flowers.
