Indian Summer for LOTV Design Collective

Hello peeps, hope you are well. 

We got our Indian Summer at last - it's been lovely and sunny here for the last four days. Yay!

This cutie is called 'Smoke Signal' from Lili of the Valley and I coloured her in with my Graph'It markers.

Skin: 4110, 4115 and 4145

Hair: 3210, 3245 and 3250

Feather/Rug: 9100 and 7160

Dress: 3125,3110, 1270 and 1230

For the background I have used papers from the 'Promises-Solids' (sky), 'Father Knows Best' (rocks and foreground) and 'Antebellum' (desert floor)  8x8 paper pads by Lili of the Valley.

To get the shape of the rocks I traced around the 'Monument' Mask from ClarityStamp.

I have also used 'Sentiments to Fit Scroll' by LOTV, stamped onto clouds cut with Joy Crafts dies.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Sweet Stampin - Use a non white base

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes w/optional colour sapphire

Hiding In My Craft Room - #218 Any Holiday (Thanksgiving)

Crafter's Cafe - Create a sky scene

Thank you for stopping by,

Work, Rest and Play

Hello lovely peeps.

Here's my first Lili Of The Valley Design Collective card for September.
I think this would be suitable for a man's birthday, or a 'First day at school' card for a young boy.

The main images are Odd Dog - Handwritten, Odd Dog - Sleepy Book and Odd Dog - Balloon, all coloured in with Graph'It markers

The papers are from Father Knows Best and Always and Forever - Solids

 8"x8" paper pads, also Lili of the Valley.

Panel 1

The wording is printed from my computer using the 'Impact Label' font (downloaded from dafont.com).

 I've also doodled borders around each topper with a black fine liner pen.

Panel 2

 

The embellishments were created with the same stamps but first I masked off parts of the image before inking. I filled in any missing bits with a fine liner pen.

Panel 3

The bone embellishments on this one are from Odd Dog - Sweet Dreams and I've covered up the heart balloon with a Sizzix Bigz balloon die-cut
