Little Skater

Hello peeps.

Todays card features a lovely stamp called Little Skater from All Dressed Up. Isn't she adorable?

I coloured her in with my Graph'It markers:

Skin: 4115, 4155, 4180

Hair: 1210, 1230, 1270

Top: 4120, 4125, 4150

Skirt: 0000, 5115, 5135

Ground/Skates: 9500

I've added glittery highlights with Zig 2-way Glue and Glamour Dust.

Apart from the large dark cream rose, all the flowers are from my shopping spree at Wild Orchid Crafts. Oodles of deliciousness :D

The sentiment stamp is from the For You set by Lili of the Valley. The papers are from the Romance and Roses collection by Nitwit - I made the flower paper lighter by increasing the brightness in Irfanview (this is a very handy free image viewer with some simple features for adjusting your pictures).

Cute Cottage Garden for LOTV

Hello lovely peeps.

If you hadn't heard, the Lili of the Valley paper pads and art pads are being discontinued, so if you want any then you need to head off to the website and snap them up before they're all gone. 

My first January card for the Design Collective uses images from the 'Cute Cottage Garden' art pad and the 'Heartfelt' paper pad* - these are both still in stock at time of writing.

*The dark red paper is from Always and Forever Solids (no longer available at LOTV, but still available as a digital download from Nitwit)

I've also used one of sentiment stamps in  'Set 7 - For You Circular Sentiments'

The basis of my design is a sketch from the current Stamp, Ink Paper Challenge as I thought this was a good way to showcase the beautiful papers.

A New Home

Hello Peeps.

Hope you are well :)

Just sharing this house-shaped easel card, my second July card for the LOTV Design Collective.

The papers are all from the Heartfelt 8x8 paper pad and the 

sentiment is from the For You Circular Sentiments stamp set, both Lili of the Valley.

The stepping stones and chimney are cut from grey Bazill card.

I also used a die-sire die for the grass (Icicles), an old flower punch

and the Woodland Branch die from Memory Box

The chimney smoke is cotton wool.
