Over the Threshold - Lili of the Valley

Good Morning Everyone, 

It's already time for another challenge at As You Like It. This fortnight the theme is.....

Friendship or Love

(Don't forget to tell us why!)

I've opted for friendship. A friend's daughter was getting married but (due to circumstances and lockdown) had to bring the wedding forward. My friend had just 1 week to get organised, (she was already making her 'mother of the bride' outfit) so I offered to make the card for her..one less job for her to worry about.

I've used 'Over the Threshold' from Lili of the Valley for my card. 

I've coloured them with promarkers and the background papers are from Crafts and You Designs - My Wedding and First Edition - Mariposa

I've used a daisy punch and added pearls to the centre of each flower. I've used a Creative Expression peony die  which I also added to the matching box. 

Our challenge this time is sponsored by the fabulous Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Passion for Markers - Buttons and/or Bows (I chose a bow)

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper - Use Patterned Paper

Flutter Bye

Good Morning Everyone
I'm so glad it's the weekend - looking forward to a nice lie in! Thank you for your concern over my Mum  - she's getting stronger although at the moment her eyesight hasn't returned. I know we are very lucky to still have her here, where so many people haven't been so lucky. I hope things improve soon.

Anyway, back to the crafting.... I've made a card using my all time favourite Penny Black stamp - This is Flutter Bye

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background paper is from Lili of the Valley - Winter Pastels. I've used a Die-namics blueprint 14 die and a Joanna Sheen rose leaves die
