So here we are...the 31st day of October! I used my fun Kitty stamp that comes with the date on it...I doodled my favorite Icarus tangle in the corner that was reminiscent of a spider web! So of course a spider needed to dangle...I have been fascinated by cauldron imagery this month and decided to play with that and my shading with my grey brush PITT pen...and something about this scene finally said TOAD! You need a toad! I hope you enjoy my stylized toady frog in the corner! Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you've enjoyed the hop. I encourage you to follow my blog and facebook and pinterest...links are included below!

Holiday Greetings with Cheery Lynn

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share with you a frilly Holiday card using the new Horizon Circle Boutique Stacker Frames - DL272 and the Merry Christmas Holly Sentiment - B366! Making a shaped card is super easy with the stackers --simply diecut a folded piece of card stock overlapping the folded edge just a bit. 

For this card I layered the Horizon Circle Boutique cut over my circle card base with foam tape. I colored the Merry Christmas Sentiment with Spectrum Noir Markers and Wink of Stella. With a glue pen I adhered the delicate sentiment to the front of my card. Next I added my pearl misted roses and snowflakes to the front. As a final embellishment I blinged up the front with crystal adding a touch of glue to insure their staying power. 

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my festive card!

This week is going to be crazy busy and when I find I'm approaching a week like this I need to take a moment to relax and unwind...my favorite thing to do to unwind is to doodle! I stamped my fun Spooktacular stamp from the $1.50 bin and then doodled a spooky scene with some of my favorite tangles! I hope you enjoy!
