Lili Of The Valley- Secretly Yours!

Hi everyone!

Hope you're enjoying your weekend! Today I have a LOTV anniversary card I made for my in-laws...

I coloured Secretly Yours using the no-lines technique with copics and added a lyra pencil shadow to the floor. The papers are by Dovecraft which I distressed. Once I'd come up with a sketch I layered the distressed papers and stamped the postage mark stamps. I then adhered the recycled lace and the image on top of that. I die-cut the PTI sentiment and stamped out the accompanying "anniversary". I adhered the "happy" flat and raised "anniversary" up on 3d foam pads. Finally I added some flowers and pearls.

Purple Onion Designs- Buttercup Bunny

Hello my crafting lovelies!!

How goes it? Hope you're all well. Today I have an aperture card featuring Purple Onion's Buttercup Bunny and Blooms...

I stamped Buttercup and then masked her out before stamping Blooms. I then coloured using Distress Markers and once dry stamped the sentiment.  I then cut a panel to fit the front of the card blank and adhered the flowery and striped papers as shown. I then die cut an aperture using the MFT Wonky Window die. I adhered the watercoloured panel to the card base, raised the die-cut panel on 3d foam pads and adhered the panel so that the image was perfectly placed underneath. 

Here's your close up! How cute is Buttercup??!

WPlus9 Friends For All Seasons- Love U!

Hi everyone!

How are you all? It's a really miserable rainy day here- perfect for crafting!

The other day I had a play with doing some backgrounds with stencils. It's not something I've done before because, as you know, I'm a designer paper girl but it's good to experiment and try different things...

The other thing I did was ink up some WPlus9 stamps I've had forever. So the background I made with the MFT Geometric Grid, sponging some distress ink. I coloured up the lil bear, flowers and duck from the set and then cut out with the matching dies. The sentiment is the fabulously useful Altenew Label Love set which I've just started using all the time. Just added a teeny heart. 

Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by today, I really appreciate it! See you later in the week! x

Lili Of The Valley- The Charleston!

Hey crafting buddies!

How goes it? Hope you're all doing good and managing to fit in some crafting time this week. I'm focusing on some Christmas Project Life this week but have quite a few cards I haven't posted yet so today I'm going to share this LOTV stamp called Charleston...

Such a cute image! I coloured using copics and the no-lines technique- a first for me! Yes, I know I'm waaaaay behind the curve but I never seem to have the time to try a new technique. Course, once you've done it once- you're sorted!! I glued a piece of black cardstock to fit a card blank and then glued 2 pieces of patterned paper together to be slightly smaller in size. I then cut an aperture and raised the patterned paper panel up on foam tape. I glued the image to the card blank and adhered the patterned paper panel on top. I stamped out the "anniversary" and die-cut the "happy" in black cardstock and covered it with Pico Embellisher to give it shine. Finally added some recycled trim and burgundy hot fix crystals. I thought the font on the sentiment and the trim looked quite art deco to match the image.

Here's your close up!

Thought I'd enter this into the LOTV Facebook Challenge. See you soon and thanks for dropping by today! x
