Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 37 - White on White

Hello again,
I would just like to share my good news with you before I start this post. I won last weeks Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge - 36  for my Tussie Mussie, thanks again to the Design Team for picking my project. So I will be doing a little shopping with my voucher.

I have got a few photo's on here as I really wanted to show you how pretty this turned out to be. I purchased these white Lace Umbrella's a few months ago and I just knew that I could use them one day.

I wonder how many of you need to take a closer look to see that the Cheery Lynn Dies aren't cut out with Cardstock or Paper but I have cut them out of FOAM. Yes you read right its actually thin white foam available from most craft stores. The foam was very easy to cut in my Cuttlebug, just like you would cut any cardstock, I only put it through once if you did it a second time it tended to move a little.

So here is my Little White Lace Umbrella and the list of the Dies that I have used head on over to Scrappy-go-Lucky to see the Dies Mandy has in store.
Canadian Kaleidoscope DL 104
Olive Branches B 147
These Umbrella's are really only supposed to be used for decoration but I still managed to be able to open and close them up.
The is the look as it is closed
Then opened

Side on
A close up of the Canadian Kaleidoscope Die DL 104 and the Exotic Butterflies DL 113
A close up of the Border Carnivale Die DL 129
Another angle with Stacker Flower-6 SF 6 
and Olive Branches B 147
This is another project that I made and I used FELT to cut out the flowers and the leaves we wore these at the June Craft Show this year.
I hope you have enjoyed looking at my project that I had so much fun in making and trying different products with Cheery Lynn Dies, I am trying Fabric with iron on interfacing to see how that works, so I will let you know how I go.
Thanks also for all your kind and encouraging comments on my blog
Until next time
Shelley
