Cheery Lynn Celebrate Love

Happy Valentine's Day!   I've been itching to use these Cheery Lynn Design's Fancy Pots on a project so I thought I'd create a garden scene and tie it into Valentine's.  This card could really be used for any occasion.

 I began by roughing up the edges of my design paper and gluing it to a 5.5" square card.  Then I cut and colored the fancy pots.  I rubbed a bit of metallic paint with my finger over the pots.  All the little details really stand out once they are colored with ink.  I glued the pots to different color paper backings and then cut around the edges.  

The pink flowers were made with the Sweet Christine die and the yellow ones were cut with the Embellishment #2 die.  The foliage is a mix of the Ivy Strip and Flourish #13 dies.  I added pearls and rhinestones to the centers of the flowers.

The pots are sitting on the Nautical Wheeler Doily die (one of my all time favorites!).  I added the banner with some twine tied around it, two small hearts from the Two of Hearts set and the Celebrate word to finish off the card.

Hi!  There are a ton of brand new products at Classy Cards 'n Such shop including dies from the new April releases.  And if you follow my blog you know I LOVE new dies.  If you use coupon JENNY-10 you can save 10% off your  entire Classy Cards 'n Such purchase.

I started this card by cutting two circles using a Spellbinders circle set.  One was cut with white cardstock and a window was cut out of a blue mat that is slightly smaller than an A2 card.  I then sponged Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn distress ink around the edges of the white circle using a Mini Ink Blending tool.  I filled in the bottom using grass from the Impression Obsession Grass Border die.  The Poppystamps Garden Step Ladder and Garden Pots and Buckets were also colored with distress ink.  Joy! Foam pads were used between the legs of the ladder and behind the pots for added dimension.

The birdhouse was cut from the Impression Obsession Birdhouse set.  I colored the main part with Tumbled Glass distress ink and cut the roof twice so I could add a bit of dimension by layering the red roof on top of the blue.  The little bird was cut from the Impression Obsession Small Birds set.  

"Hello" is from a die in the Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  I sponged Festive Berries Distress Ink on a piece of white card stock before cutting out the word.
