Good Morning :) I hope everyone is having a great week so far? :)
Our challenge this week over on Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge is 'For Mum', and the winner will receive a $20 voucher to spend on the Cheery Lynn website - well worth joining in! :)
Now, this is a little different from me eh? I usually have some kind of stamped image as my focal point on a card, but these dies are so gorgeous, I really felt that they 'owned' the card all on their own! :)
As usual, I hand stitched my papers (K&Co) onto Bazzil cardstock, and tucked 2 contrasting layers of the B136 - Anastasia Border just underneath. I think this is my favourite border, its so delicate!
I cut out 2 hearts in ivory pearl card, and then added B117 - Fanciful Flourish as a base for layering my flowers which were cut from D137 - Sweet Williams, B149 - Cuties 1 and B150 - Cuties 2.
Other dies used on this project were:
The gorgeous pearl pin was sent to me by my good friend Karen, who makes them herself - thanks so much hun! :)

greetings karin
Stunning! I love the cheery lynn dies and the colours you have chosen. The flowers are fab, I love flowers. Beautiful. Hugs, Jill x
This is gorgeous,love the papers and fab layout.xxx
Love the decorated pin with the charm & the way you picked out the green from the paper with your ribbon. The red pearls are a lovely accent & really catch the eye & pick up the dark centres of those paper flowers.
Hope your PC is recovering - I'm sure you've been ministering unto it (in pieces on the floor with a couple of helpful wet noses?)
