Fairy Thistledown - Lili of the Valley DT

Hello Everyone, 
I've been a bad blogger again....We have been out with Emma's cricket every night this week and we still have a weekend full of it too! I've been trying to have a look at your blogs via my phone from various cricket pitches but the signal is generally quite poor!  I'm hoping to catch up with you all properly over the next few days.
I haven't had much time for crafting but 10 minutes here and there and I finally came up with a card! ...

The stamp is from Lili of the Valley and called Fairy Thistledown. I've used the rubber stamp for my card and she is now available as a digi stamp.  I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her wings. The background papers are from Lemoncraft - Heartpainted paper pad. I've used a Memory Box Cherry Blossom die and a die namics picket fence die.

Snowy at PBSC

Good Morning Everyone, 
It's the first Saturday of the month and that means a brand new challenge over on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog. The theme this month is ....

ANYTHING GOES

(Option : 'Make your own background')

I have used a very cute Penny Black stamp called 'Snowy' for today's card. I've had my eye on this stamp for a while, I think he might just be popping up a few times before Christmas!

Our optional theme at this months Penny Black Saturday challenge is to make your own background. Well I'm no good at all that inky stuff so I just embossed a piece of white card using a Dovecraft snowflake folder and wiped it over with chalk.

I've coloured Snowy with promarkers and paper pieced his hat and scarf. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Our sponsor this month is 1-2-3 stitch with a £10 voucher for one lucky winner.
