Faux Iris Folding
Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I am sharing a Faux Iris Fold Easter greeting! In Iris Folding you generally start with the negative of a cutout shape...so in the case of my egg, you would have had an egg frame or an egg cut out of a rectangle. You would build your strips from the outside to the inner space. There are lots of tutorials on the internet, simply google Iris Folding.
For my project I did a reverse iris folding technique. I began by cutting paper into 1" strips and folding them on the half-inch line. I cut out the egg shape with my Nesting Eggs Die. I then glued down a square middle-ish to the egg. I then started on two edges of the square and glued down my folded strips alternating sides as I went. When I had covered the entire egg, I trimmed it around the shape and mounted it on a larger nested egg.
To complete my card, I layered the egg between a picket fence and some grass. A bunny and the happy Easter sentiment completed my card.

March Monthly Smeared Ink Blog Hop | Alice in Wonderland Madness!
I created this little fat book page on a piece of canvas paper...I began by swirling on distress ink with my beautiful Enchanted Vine RebeccaBaer.com Collage stencil...the same stencil is later used to get the diamond pattern on the bottom right and the Swirl at the top left. I recently joined the Rebecca Baer Design Team and get to share with you often these awesome Mixed Media tools!! Her Stencil Brushes are AMAZING...more about that at another time! You're here to HOP! The image was stamped on a piece of scrapbooking paper made to look like a dictionary page. As the image was bigger than my 4×4" square, I altered slightly to get both the Cheshire Cat and Alice on the page. The cat and Alice and a piece of the branch were colored with Prisma Pencils and then painted with Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in Pearl to add SHIMMER. The cat needed some googly eyes to finish him off.
Below are details of this fun tile! Enjoy!

Bokeh with Cheery Lynn Designs
Bokeh is a photography aesthetic quality where out of focus parts of an image develop a character. The look created by photographers purposefully creating a shape on the blurred background is the inspiration for this background technique.
I began with a piece of Mixed Media Paper and added watercolor pencil and applied water to activate and smear the background. I set it aside to dry and in the mean time created a stencil on acetate with the circles stackers and the blueberries dies from the deep dish dies sets.
Once dry I applied circles with Pan Pastel in White using my template. Circles were allowed to overlap to give the impression of the photography inspiration. Once I was happy with the look, I added my sentiment "Awesome" to the front of the card and matted with a piece of black cardstock using the A2 Frames!
