This is Chickadee in Barberry.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics and added lots of glitter to the snowy branches.  The background papers are from Lili of the Valley - Snowy Christmas and First Edition. I've used a Marianne Creatables snowflake die and a Spellbinders snowflake die. The sentiment tag stamps are from Lili of the Valley.

Penguin - Lili of the Valley DT

Hello everyone, 
I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted on here! Life's been a bit hectic, school life is always bonkers coming up to the end of year what with sats and the KS2 play, then Emma has her cricket, hubby managed to tear his achilles heal (playing cricket with Emma!) and my mum has just had a knee replacement op!
Anyway today's cricket game was cancelled due to the rain so I managed to get a couple of hours in my craft room this morning. I had to remember how to colour - think I've forgotton what to do!!
Lili of the Valley have a fabulous new release coming out on Tuesday 25th - some very cute Christmas stamps and gorgeous Halloween images along with lots of sentiment stamps.
I've used one of the very, very cute penguins for todays card.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics and the background paper is from Make & Create - Snowy Christmas. I've used Anna Marie Christmas trees die and The Paper Boutique Winter Wishes die.The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Not much crafting going on in this house again! I needed a birthday card for my mother-In-Law so I turned to a lovely set of stamps that I got for Christmas. They are Woodware stamps and this one is called 'Clematis Trio'.

These are large stamps so I've used a 7" card base for this one.
I've coloured them with promarkers and copics and added liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers. The background papers are from Crafters Companion. I've used a peony die from Creative Expressions and some enamel dots from Hobby Craft.  The sentiment tag stamps are from Lili of the Valley.
