Good Morning :) I hope everyone is having a good week, and the weather hasnt been toooo wet where you are!. Its been absolutely glorious here in Scotland for a change, so 'nyah, nyah, nyah! LOL :D
Now my card today is for our new theme of 'Flowers' this week on the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge, and the winner will receive a $20 coupon to spend on the Cheery Lynn website. Fabby prize! :)
My card was made by handstitching K&Co papers onto olive green bazzill card, and using the B137 - Tiffany Border, to edge both sides of the floral paper. This border cuts so crisp - I love it! :) . I made the chrysanthemum type flowers from centura pearl card and from all 3 sizes of the rose dies - B152 - Miniature Rose, B154 - Medium Rose and B155 - Large Rose (these are so versatile).
I made the swirly decorations using one of the corner dies from B162 - Lace Corner - Deco B and just hooked them in front and behind the ovals to make an ornate frame.
Other dies used on this project were:
