Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! :)
This week our new challenge over at Cheery Lynn Designs is 'Birthday', and so I was in my element making this sweet little card. I love how delicate and lacy these pretty dies look and they all work so well together.
This was my first time using one of the gorgeous Reflection Boutique Dies and was thrilled at the results! They were so easy to use and enabled me to create customised mats and layers in just the perfect size for my stamped image. The possibilities are endless, as I only used the 2 smallest sized Horizon Coved Rectangles dies, and you get a total of 6 different sizes in the set! I loved not being restricted in the sizes you can create, and can see myself making card bases and matching boxes from these fabby dies too! :)
I used a gorgeous Tilda and coloured her with PM's, and hand-stitched Prima and MME papers.
The border was created using B160 - Queen Anne's Lace, (which is beautiful!) and the corners were cut from just one of the dies in the B162 - Lace Corner Deco B set.

Other dies used on this project are:
D133 - Exotic Butterflies - SM #2
D133a - Small #2 Angel Wing
B152 - Miniature Rose
B154 - Medium Rose - these make gorgeous flowers in so many ways!

You're definitely in your element playing about with these dies! Your distressed edges combined with the sewing are superb too & I just marvel at all these layers & how interesting it all is with the different coloured pearls. The heart charm studs really accent your pearls beautifully in shape too.
