Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 36 - Silver and/or Gold



The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog is Silver and/or Gold.  You can use one or the other or both.  I decided to go with gold, using Curious Metallic Super Gold and Cryogen for a wonderful sparkle.  I began with my Fleur De Lis Lace Mega Doily; die cut from Cryogen and backed with Super Gold card stock.  Next came a Super Gold layer die cut using my coordinatiing French Flair Stackers; I cut this one out of text weight.  Then another Cryogen Fleur De Lis panel, finishing with a Super Gold Circle Lace Mega Doily in the center to which I added a sentiment from Nelly's Sentiments.  I created the flowers using my Build a Flower 1 dies; the top uses the large petals and stamens, the bottom only stamens.  I backed each of them with a  Laced Pine Snowflake.  A few pearl embellishments and I was done.  Finished size of the card is 6 1/4" square. 

Be sure to visit the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge blog for more inspiration and to join in the fun for a weekly $20 shopping spree to Cheery Lynn Designs.
