A Thank You Card for a Competition!

Hello Bloggers,

This is a first for me, I’ve made a card to enter into an online card challenge.  I love Cheery Lynn dies, especially the flower making ones.  Cheery Lynn Designs Blog does a weekly challenge and this week it’s a thank you card. You will find the details of the challenge “here”.

I’ve used an old Prima 6”x6” paper stack pad called “Fairy Flora”, I bought it 3 years ago when I was in Mackay for Christmas with family.  I love the paper in it, but find it hard to use because it’s too pretty to cut up!….lol.  The brown cardstock is from a cardstock pack that I bought at Kmart and the cream is from a junk shop.

I’ve also used a new die that Jacqui has gotten in at Kookaburra Crafts, it’s a Joy Crafts die 6002/0304, it’s so pretty and lacy.

All of the flowers and leaves are die cut using Cheery Lynn Designs dies from 190gsm White Regal Parchment paper and coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Inks then shaped and glued together.
