 Here are the rules:

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:
 Bird Cage
 Pennant Die
 Exotic Butterfly Medium #3
 Honeycomb

I decided I wanted to play with a few dies I haven't used much.This is a quick layout but has so many wonderful layers. Let me share a few extra pictures.

I started with this very colorful piece of paper, I used a honeycomb that wasn't fully cut as a stencil. Using modeling paste I added a pattern sporadically. I then used some Gesso around the edges.
I then matted this top piece on top of a piece of yellow card stock, then stitched with my sewing machine all around the edges. I won't say it is very straight but I still like it very much.
Just Wanted to share a few more close ups

These are pictures of my oldest...my beautiful daughter.
This was a great layout to put together and I enjoyed all the pieces.
Hope you join us this week and use some Stitches

  8. Oh, Dawn, both your daughter and your layout are just beautiful!!!

    I only have a few of Cheery Lynne's dies; haven't used any yet, but soooo dying to do so!!! I'm not the best cardmaker so I really want to take my time when I use them and not rush!!! I've seen some of the entries and they're all amazing, so when I enter I don't want my card to be "that" bad. Don't expect to win any or anything, just want to participate in the fun; but also want it to be one of my best!

    Love all the care you put into all your projects, my friend. TFS!!!
