New LOTV Trio - Squirrel Presents

Hello lovely peeps

This is the card I showed you a sneaky peek of on Friday, using one of the super-cute stamps being released at Lili of the Valley on Friday 16th - Squirrel Presents Trio.

I coloured him in with Promarkers and Graph'Its then cut him out with an X-cut circle die. I've layered him up on a kraft card 6"x6" blank, decorated with papers from the 'Falling Leaves' 8x8 pad by First Edition. The sentiment is part of a new stamp that is also being released next week.

Interlocking Octopus Legs for Leonie

Hello peeps, I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I'm in a silly mood so thought I'd show you the octopus I made with Leonie's 'Interlocking Love' die from her latest collection 'Entwined'

First I made another inky background on glossy card in blue & green to look like water.
This is the same technique that I used on Rosy Heart but I didn't use rock salt this time.

Next I cut out the heart twice from a lovely patterned pearlescent paper in the 'Falling Leaves' 8x8 pad by Trimcraft. To make the legs I cut each heart shape into four and rounded off the cut ends with my scissors. One of the middles cut into half serves as my octopus body

The sentiment is from the 'From the Heart' stamp set that accompanied the dies
