Furry Choir sneak peek

Hello lovely peeps and a warm welcome to my new follower :o)

 There are some more adorable Christmas stamps being launched at Lili of the Valley early in September - this one is called Furry Choir.

I've had the digi version to play with and I printed it onto Simply the Best 250gsm card from Limetree Craft with a large margin on all sides. I coloured it with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Graph'Its and stamped on the sentiment at the top using the letters from the Retro Alphabet by My Sentiments Exactly.



I layered the image onto a 6x6 card blank with a Grand Merry Christmas die-cut (Memory Box) and drew in musical notes with a black Sakura fineliner to match the ones around the choir.

The snowflakes were made with a mix of Robert Adams/Chinese dies from Ebay, with pale blue gems in the centres.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Die Cuttin' Divas #332 Sequins, gems or pearls
A Gem of a Challenge #201 Snow Fun
Moving along with the Times #52 Things beginning with B (Bunnies)

Winter challenge at LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

The challenge theme for December over on the Lili of the Valley Facebook page is 'Winter'

 All you need to do is make something on this theme which includes a Lili of the Valley image. 

There are 3 fab prizes on offer and the winners will be drawn at random from all the entries;
1st - £20 LOTV voucher
2nd - £15 LOTV voucher

For my inspiration card I stamped 'Cold Hands, Warm Heart' onto a 6" square of smooth white card with Black Versafine and then I coloured in the image with 'Charcoal', 'Scarlet' and 'Marigold' Spectrum Aqua Markers.

(The rubber version of this stamp has been discontinued but you can get a digi version here)

I die-cut the top of the card with a Memory Box die and layered it up with different papers from my stash (mostly Nitwit 'Woodland Wishes')

I finished the card off with a dark red check ribbon, 'Pine Sprigs',

and pine cones made with one of the 'Spiral Flowers' dies (both by Impression Obsession)

A dazzler from Creative Expressions adds a little bit of bling :o)
