Dear Alice

Hello lovely peeps

Today's card features the Gorjuss stamp Dear Alice. I was in need of some colouring therapy in the week so I dug out one of my pre-stamped images to play with.

Under the Weather in Autumn colours

Hello lovely peeps

Today's card features Under the Weather from Lili of the Valley.

Feature a Creature at LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

There's a new challenge on the Lili of the Valley Facebook page - Feature a Creature.

To be in with a chance of winning one of three Lili of the Valley vouchers, all you need to do is create something to fit our theme using a LOTV image and then post it on the Facebook event page before 21st July 2017. There's plenty of gorgeous animals to choose from -  bunnies, bears, cats, dogs, mice, squirrels, birds and more.

For my inspiration card I've used Odd Dog Mug of Tea (still available as a digi, although I have used the rubber stamp version).

First I stamped him onto watercolour card with Black Archival Ink and then coloured him in with Tim Holtz Distress Markers - Tea Dye, Victorian Velvet and Vintage Photo. The sentiment is from the Teenage Boy Sentiments stamp set.

The papers I've used are from a 6"x6" Santoro Willow paper pad and I've added sinamay mesh and a few buttons from my stash to finish the card off.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
 Lil Patch of Crafty Friends  #61 Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations #278 Dots and/or stripes
Alphabet Challenge H for Hearts
One Crazy Stamper  Anything Goes

Entwined Willow for Leonie

Hello lovely peeps, happy weekend to you and a very warm welcome to my new follower.

For today's card I have used Santoro 'Willow' papers combined with dies and stamps from Leonie's Entwined collection.

First I glued one of the gorgeous papers onto the front of a 6x6 card blank and cut an aperture with the Big Heart Base die and then cut the leafy border from another paper using the Entwining Branches die

I lined the inside of the card with a third paper and then stamped one of the message ribbons onto a strip to go along the bottom of the card. I stamped one of the leaves from the Beautiful Bloom set onto 3 different papers and cut them out. I also used a small circle punch to make my own card candi from the same papers.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Simon Says Stamp (Mon)Use patterned paper
Morgan's Art World #13 Use Patterned paper
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper  Anything goes with Patterned Paper
Let's Craft & Create Challenge #114 Hearts &/or Flowers
