Cherry Lynn Challenge - Shaped Card






This card is called a block card.    There are many tutorials on how to make this card.  I revised mine to made the front of the card larger and will also be the same size of the back when folded.  I added one additional step to reinforce the blocks to stay open each time the card is opened.  Otherwise, the back side wants to stick to the front. 

The paper is from Graphic 45.  The frame on the front of the card is the Cherry Lynn Dutch Doily Rectangle .  I made the flowers and rose buds using the Cherry Lynn Miniature Rose die and Cherry Lynn Rea Rose die.  The leaves are from the Cherry Lynn Flourish Leaf die strip.

I even made the lady bugs using the Ranger red and black liquid pearl drops.



I used the Range Liquid Pearls Ruby Red and Onyx Black to make the lady bug along with a fine Sharpie pen for the dots.  Use one drop of red pearl and let dry.  Then add the dots and then the black pearl and let dry before removing from parchment paper or a clear plastic paper protector to glue onto the leaf.
