Hi there Cheery Lynn fans, I am Maggi Harding from Scrap, Travel & Bark, and I am so thrilled to be here as the September guest designer. What an honor for me! Wow, do I ever love the Cheery Lynn dies, they are so fabulous. I love how the paper so easily releases from the dies and that you can cut through two layers of cardstock with the dies. I am a layouts and tags kinda gal with the occasional off the page project and card thrown into the mix, so today I want to share a layout with you that also goes along with the September 1 challenge theme to use lace. I love using lace and ribbons on my layouts so I used a pretty heart lace all around my photo.
I used the Victorian Romance Flourish in each of the 4 corners to set the base for my floral clusters. Then I added Flourish # 7 -CAFLRS7. To make those flourishes extra pretty, I inked them around the edges. Inking creates depth and I love layers, depth and dimension.
I have to have layers under my photos so I used the Horizon Coved Rectangle Boutique Stacker - DL 251 to cut a large and medium mat for my photo.
I especially love the black eyed susan center, it's so easy to make and looks so fabulous! I inked the edges of my flowers, shaped the petals with a large ball stylus and they layered them up.
Now flowers need some leaves around them to make them look realistic so I diecut leaves and berries with the Floral Bouquet Kit (B777). That kit is so versatile because you get two sizes of flowers plus pretty stems, leaves, and berries! I also added some Lindy's mist to the petals so that the color would be mottled and more realistic.
For these flowers, I used both the small and large flower in the Floral Bouquet Kit (B777). The center is made up of 3 small flowers. To make the small flower and the center of the large flower, I just pinched the petals together and gave them a nice scrunch.

I am totally a flowers kinda gal and I am totally crazy about the Cheery Lynn flower dies! I used the Black Eyed Susan Strip die B338 to create the pointed petal flowers and the Floral Bouquet Kit B777.
