Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 42 - Anything Goes

 
The challenge this week at Cheery Lynn Designs is Anything Goes.  As promised in my last post for Cheery Lynn,  I have used the new Chicken Wire Frame die to create a panel 6 x 12 inches with no seams.  I will show you the trick to doing this. After you cut the first section (and each section after that) turn the paper over and line up the die in the frame.  Now this is the really important part, when you put this in your machine, you want to start where the die meets the last cut and cut towards the uncut paper.  If you cut the other direction, the paper will stretch just enough to mess up your original cut.  (Took me a few pieces of card stock to figure that out!)  You can do this same technique with the new Honeycomb die as well.

These pictures on my layout are of some crab apple blossoms from a tree in my yard.  I wanted to try and make blossoms that look similar so I used Large Rose and Embellishment 2; dry embossing all the pieces for a rounded look.  To create the greenery I used  Fanciful Flourish, Mini Fanciful Flourish and Mega Fanciful Flourish.  The last step was to add some corner adornments using my Lace Corner Deco J die.  Finished size is 12 inches square.
