I (heart) U!



Made for Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 17 - Lots of Layers http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/cheery-lynn-designs-challenge-17-lots.html I used their Sweet Williams flower die, sequins, and seed beads for my layers. Also added Stickles to the Making Memories flower pin. Paper is from We R Memory Keepers, Love how bright and cheerful it is! Flower steam is Stampin' Up. I added alphabet beads to the pin, after it was where it needed to be I dipped the pin in glue and stuck a bead on the end so no one will get poked :) Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Williams Charms






I thought the Sweet Williams flower from Cheery Lynn Designs would make a really cute charm, when I went to throw away the shrink film I cut them out of I thought the negative would be perfect for the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 16 - Frame It http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/cheery-lynn-designs-challenge-16-frame.html I “framed” a bead.
Materials:
Cherry Lynn Designs Die-Sweet William
Shrink Film
Stazon Ink
Diamond glaze
Rubber Stamp
Pinch Bail
Jump Ring
Paper Punch

Instructions: Randomly stamp shrink film with any rubber stamp using Stazon ink, cut with Cheery Lynn Designs die, save both the positive and negative, punch a hole to place the bail or jump ring in, follow the shrink films instructions, after the piece cools add a jump ring or bail. To frame the bead coat the tips of the flower with Diamond glaze or a glue that dries clear and wedge the bead in place. This can them be added to a necklace, key ring, or zipper pull. Have fun!




Here is the bracelet that I made the charms for. For the charm centers I wire wrapped a bead, placed in the center, on the back side I just twisted the wire in a circle to keep the bead in place

Into the Garden

I made her for Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 15 - Pretty in Pink. http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/cheery-lynn-designs-challenge-15-pretty.html I used their Exotic Butterflies Small #2 for her wings. The flowers she is holding was made with Darling Daisies. Her face was stamped with a sun stamp and turned into an epoxy with Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio and placed in a recycled bottle cap. Her arms and legs are assorted beads. Thanks for stopping by!
