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.

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.
