I've coloured them with promarkers and layered them onto the background paper using photoshop. The background paper and the sentiment stamp are from Lili of the Valley.  The frame die is from The Paper Boutique - Christmas is Here doily die.

Hedgehogs Sunflower Friend

Good Morning Everyone, 
Firstly I need to say a big Thank You to all of you who have sent best wishes to my Mum. The stroke has left her with very little sight - none at all in her left eye and just shapes in the right eye. It means she can't read or watch television, so a big lifestyle change for her. My Dad had a stroke 8 years ago which left him partially paralysed , so one can see but can't walk and the other one can walk but can't see! What with lockdown and everything else I think they are finding things a bit tough - although they would never let me know that! I'm just grateful that they are both still here.

Anyway,   I've got another summery card to share today but I really need to get back into Christmas mode! I've used the adorable 'Hedgehogs Sunflower Friend' from Di's Digi Stamps.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Anna Marie Designs - Garden Bloom. I've used a die namics picket fence die and my favourite Fabulous Flowers die from Hunkydory. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

James Say It With Flowers - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning, 
I have some exciting news for all you Lili of the Valley lovers...there's a brand new release due out on Thursday 12th  November featuring the adorable James Bear!
For my first card I have used 'James- Say It With Flowers'.

                                           

I've coloured him with promarkers and used scraps of paper from an old Lili of the Valley pad. The scalloped border die is by Spellbinders, and I added a Creative Expressions Camellia complete petals die.  The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley. I have to admit - I keep looking at the colours of the flowers and wishing I hadn't picked orange!!

The images in this new release are adorable, watch out for more sneak peeks from the Design Team.
