Blog Hop at Joan's Garden's With New Cheery Lynn Die Build A Flower #1 and $100 Prize!

Today I am participating in a blog hop for Joan's Gardens to introduce to you a new series of flower dies from Cheery Lynn called "Build A Flower #1".
These dies are Cheery Lynn exclusive flower building dies that Selma helped design.
They include flower petals, flower bases, leaves and different types of stamens.
Cheery Lynn will be releasing more "Build A Flower" sets in the future to build a wide variety of flowers.
All cheery Lynn dies can be purchased from Joan's Gardens.

I am very happy to join five other very talented ladies who are particpating in this blog hop.  Cheery Lynn Designs is the sponsor and has donated a fantastic prize package with a value of $100.  All the guest designers were sent a set of the "Build A Flower #1"dies and we have posted cards today showing different flowers we created using these dies.  We hope to give you a lot of inspiration to "build" your own flowers.

Would you like to win that $100 gift package from Cheery Lynn?  All you have to do is be a subscriber to both Joan's Gardens and Selma's blogs and visit each blog in this hop, including Joan's Gardens and Selma's blogs, and leave a comment.  A winner will be selected to win the $100 prize package from comments left on one of the blogs ~ it will be a random selection.
The guest designers are:

Priss Steelman
Selma Stevenson
Nancy Hill
Joan Morrison
Diane Hover (that's me)
Glenda Brooks
Deb Kozak
Joan's Gardens

Your next stop from here is Glenda Brooks Blog.

I chose to make a clematis sponging each petal with two shades of chalk ink, and if you scroll below, you can see how much this flower die resembles it......
all other dies used are also Cheery Lynn and may be purchased at Joan's Gardens as well..
Thank you for hopping along with us and good luck on winning the wonderful Cheery Lynn prize package!
