Windy Day - LOTV DT

Hello Everyone, 

Cricket season is over, and both my children have gone off to university so I have had a little bit of crafty time today!
I've got a card to share tonight using one of the new Autumn girl images from Lili of the Valley, that were launched last Monday. There are 8 gorgeous girls - this one is called Windy Day.

I've coloured her with promarkers and copics. The background papers are from Crafters Comapnion - Natures Garden Thankful and Blessed. I've used a die namics flower die, a die namics picket fence die and a foliage die from Spellbinders.  The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

As You Like It - Favourite die : This is really hard one, I have so many favourites! I really love my flower dies but time and time again I turn to the basics, so after the Spellbinders circle die it would have to be the Die namics picket fence die.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your comments and encouragement.

have a lovely weekend.

Bountiful at PBSC

Good morning everyone,

It's already the first Saturday of September, which means it's also time for our Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This month the theme is ...

Anything Goes 

Option : Spots and Stripes

This little cutie is a rubber stamp called 'Bountiful'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics.
The background papers are from my box of scraps, but I think they are from Make and Create and Echo Park. I've used a die namics picket fence die, a Creative expressions peony die, a Spellbinders leaf die and a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp - Stamp It

I Love Promarkers - Anything Goes

As You Like It - Layers or Flat. I love layers and lots of them! I like to use lots of patterned papers and always layer them onto card. I then realise it won't even fit in an envelope never mind trying to keep it flat for postage!

Have a lovely weekend.
