Whitewash Dogwood

Stamped with Versa Mark, heat embossed with 

fine line white embossing powder on craft colored 

card stock.

I used water colors that were very watered down

for the soft delicate whitewash appearance. 

Note the layering.

The craft paper was sponged with dark brown, 

layered onto white, trimmed to a narrow bordere,

the white was sponged with dark brown.

There is another layer of craft paper,

trimmed to narrow border, sponged and yet

another narrow border of white.

This is place on a pale pink card stock

that has been cut to 5.25 x 4 inches.

The lovely lace border at the bottom is

another Cheery Lynn Designs die.

Cheery Lynn Designs Bow Part 3

 Two slightly different takes on the same basic design.

Sponging the edges of all layers adds subtle definition

and a more vintage look.

The paper is from Graphic 45.

The scalloped ribbon was cut using my 

Create A Cut guillotine cutter. 

Cheery Lynn Designs Bow Part 2

Pink and ivory DP with a scalloped paper 

ribbon and a Cheery Lynn Designs Bow die.

The corners are rounded.

Using the Cheery Lynn Design Bows, Part 1

I have to say that I really really like the 

Cheery Lynn Designs bow die.

It even comes in two sizes!

Manly Cards

 There is a lot to be said for the dies that allow one to

emboss and ink.  These old cars are just fantastic.

The background paper is from Paper Studio.

The card base has the edges sponged with dark brown ink,

as does the map paper and the ivory paper that the cars 

are mounted on.  

Note that the map paper is on a dark brown card stock

that has been trimmed to a narrow border.

Simple

 Using an Anna Griffin die that covers the whole 

front of the card.

It was embossed and the open areas

of the die were sponged with inks.

I glued tiny pieces of the flat part

of a paper egg carton in various 

places on the back to create the 3-D.

A frame was cut with Spellbinders

Basic Matting dies.

The frame was attached to the die before 

being placed on the card front.
