James - Butterflies : Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 

My blog had been very quiet lately but life has been hectic! Between school, GCSE's, A levels and cricket, I don't know whether I'm coming or going! At least it's not long now until the exams are finished. Emma has her last GCSE on Monday and Tom's last A-level is on Tuesday.

Here's a little card made using the gorgeous James Bear from Lili of the Valley.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics. The background papers are from my box of scraps. I've used a Spellbinders grand circle die and a flower from the Die-namics Blueprints 14 set. The sentiment tag stamps are from Lili of the Valley.

Clematis Trio - Woodware Stamps

Good evening everyone, 
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.
