Woo!! Today is such an exciting day as it sees the launch of the New Release Cheery Lynn Dies! ...........and they are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! :)
My first project (above) was made using the stunning Pixie Guardian die, which cuts beautifully and is a wonderful size. This card is 8 x 8 so its also perfect for 6 x 6 cards too! I used one of the new Lace Corners (from a set of 3 very elegant corners), and the letters are from the new Lower Case Lace Script Alphabet.
The dies used on this card are:
**New** - DL217 Pixie Guardian
**New** - LSLC - Lace Script Lower Case Alphabet
**New** - B174 - Lace Corner Deco I
B133 - Lace Light Deco Border
DL146 - Large Dragonfly with Angel Wing
2nd New Release:
This is the new 'One Free Wish' die, also a great size and just utterly fabulous! I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it, and just couldnt wait to use it!
I have also used one of the new doily dies 'Spring Flower Burst' on the base of this card, and the stunning centre flower is from a new collection called Build a Flower. These are going to be fantastic, and this first set includes leaves and stamens in all sizes and gorgeous petals too. The dainty leaves are the new Iris Leaves set.
I layered black and white bazzil card, and all the dies used on this project are:
**New** - DL216 - One Free Wish
**New** - DL221 - Spring Flower Burst
**New** - B179 - Iris Leaves
**New** - B181 - Build a Flower #1
DL184 - Sophias Heart
XL-5 - Scalloped Circle Stackers
L-4 - Silver Circle Stackers
