Such A Beauty



                                         This week our challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is
                                   ANYTHING GOES

 Here are the rules:
  • You MUST follow the theme and use at least one Cheery Lynn Designs die, of course, we would love to see more than one. 
  • You MUST add a link to your blog post in the InLinkz at the end of that post; no back posting, only new projects are allowed
  • You MUST link to our blog in your post
  • You may only enter the challenge ONCE per week.
The winner will be chosen based on merit by Cheery Lynn Designs. They will receive a $20 coupon for shopping at the Cheery Lynn website. The challenge will end on Sunday night at 22:00 Eastern time.  In addition, our design team members will be voting on 3 favorites who will receive a Weekly Spotlights badge to display on their blog. Be sure to come back on Wednesday to see who earned the badge.
 I used the following dies:

 Leaf
Whenever I can do anything I want 99% of the time that will involve flowers.
Also I love to paper piece so making these flowers was perfect.
I used a plain unpainted box and added a layer of Gesso. I next went and added a layer  of Crystal Gel, I think this is made to use with molds but love how it looks on crafts.
I used one of my favorite products: GLITTER from PK Glitz! I used a great adhesive for small pieces and attached this delicate doily  on top of the glitter and gel.
I went to work creating many flowers and leaves. I like to make several all in white and color if I need to.
My favorite is the tiny baby breath pieces, what do you think of those? This is my second time making these.Here is my other post making them, I might be addicted...lol
What about all that shine? It was hard to get pictures that weren't to shiny.
I used pearls for the center of my flowers.
The sentiment is from Stamping Bella and was all one line, I just split it apart to put on the tags.
 Have you joined my giveaway yet this week? There is a few days left to enter...

  9. Dawn, this is beautiful!!! I love it!!! Looks like I'm having a difficult time trying to use my Cheery Lynn dies. Busy this week shopping for appliances for my kitchen remodeling; still have to find back splash for the walls and flooring this weekend (hopefully)! Seems like if it's not one thing, it's another -- but, at least this time I'm enjoying it and looking forward to my new kitchen!!! LOL!!!
