A Christmas Hug - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 

I have a card to share this morning using one of the very cute Christmas images from Lili of the Valley. This is 'A Christmas Hug'.

The background is Lili of the Valley - Cloudy Evening Skies. I've then used photoshop to layer the cute  'A Christmas Hug 'onto the background paper.  I've coloured her with promarkers and added a Memory Box star. I did print it out slightly larger than normal - this is a 7" square card.

Life has got in the way of crafting and blogging again - so I'm sorry if I haven't visited you for a while. I will try and rectify that as soon as I can.
I absolutely love all of the stamps from the last couple of releases from Lili of the Valley. All those fab Christmas images....which one to choose next! I have done a bit of colouring with this gorgeous stamp called 'Winter Fun'.

I've coloured them with promarkers and the background papers are from Crafters Companion - glittering snowflakes.
I've used snowflake die from the Crafters Companion glittering snowflakes collection, and a die namics picket fence die. The sentiment is also from Lili of the Valley - Everything Christmas sentiment lables.

Polar Bears - Lili of the Valley DT

Hello Everyone, 
It's been back to work this week after a lovely summer break with the kids. Emma still has another cricket match left so between  that and work , crafty time has almost been non existent!
I have ( over a few days) had the chance to make this little number using one of the new images due to be released tomorrow from Lili of the Valley.

The big difference with this launch is that the images are available as PNG's which means that you can print them out on your choice of digital backing paper. It leaves the image clear ready for colouring. There are lots of new images in this release and they are all gorgeous! 
I've coloured this one with promarkers and the background papers are from the new release. I've used a Marianne Creatables tree die, a Spellbinders snowflake die, and sentiment tags from Lili of the Valley.

Anyway Lili of the Valley have another Christmas release coming out in September. Lots of gorgeous new images, sentiments and some fabulous paper sets.
