In the Garden

Hello lovely people,

I am always amazed how quickly Thursday rolls around and I get to share some more LOTV loveliness with you.  Yes, it's time for a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and our theme this week is 'In the Garden' so there are plenty of LOTV images that would qualify for this.

And look what you could win this week; these 2 fab stamps from Stamposaurus!  These would be a great addition to any stamp collection.

I have been trying to keep my cards simple so they are quicker to make but I still seem to spend ages playing with the layout... *big sigh.*  I thought if I left off any girly embellies this card would work for both male and female recipients.  I even left my usual stitching off this one; not sure if it looks a little bare now.

The image is from one of the LOTV Sketch pads which I have coloured with Copics and I just love this cute pair in amongst the flowers!  I love the animal images but I do find them tricky to colour... I guess I just have to practice some more ;-)

Spots and stripes

Hello lovely people,

I have everything crossed that Blogger does as he is told and posts this for me while I am still in bed after going to see Muse at the Ricoh stadium in Coventry last night :-)

Next up, thank you to Donna and Nat for becoming my latest followers - so lovely to have you along!

And eventually on to the main business; my DT card for Lili's Little Fairies and the theme this week is 'Spots and Stripes' - easy peasy right?  I have done a masculine card this week which is so not my forte, but this LOTV image made it a breeze to make  :-)

I have let the DP and image do most of the work here and only added a little twine and button for embellishment.

I have used an image from one of the new LOTV sketch pads, and wow, these are totally amazing.  They are such good value at £6 for 30 images and give you a really nice selection of images to work with.  The card is a lovely weight and the images colour up beautifully with my Copics.
