Lili Of The Valley Butterfly Meadow

The last time Lili of the Valley had a retiring sale I bought lots of stamps and some of them I haven't had time to use so I thought that I would use this one called Butterfly Meadow.

I used Kraft card from Stampin' Up and papers from the First Edition Bella Rose paper pad. The layers are all cut using my Scan 'n' Cut except for the banner which is the Heart Banner from LaLa Land Crafts. The ribbon and flowers are from my local craft shop. The greeting is a digi stamp from Cuddly Buddly. The Lili bunny is coloured using my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens.

This card is for the following challenges:

* Item from my stash - 613 Avenue,
* One for the girls - Penny Black & More,
* Bunting / Banners - Little Claire's, Cupcake Inspirations,
* Pink - Really Reasonable Ribbon, A Gem Of A Challenge,

Polkadoodles Sticks & Bones

I have really been enjoying using the new Sticks & Bones CD from Polkadoodles and I decided to make a door plaque for a little boy who I look after who is absolutely obsessed with Dinosaurs.

Apart from the plaque and pearls everything comes from the CD Rom (which is also available as a download) and these images and papers are fantastic for all sorts of occasions for both adults and children.

It's time for another challenge over at Creatalicious and the sponsor this time is The Paper Shelter and the image I have used is the coloured version of The Fairy & The Wizard.

The smaller hearts are embossed with the Hearts embossing folder from the Country Companions range.

Crafty Catz Challenge #309 Kids

This weeks challenge over at Crafty Catz is 'Kids' and the fun image I have used from the sponsor Crafty Sentiments is called Harriet. I thought this image would be perfect for a cute Valentine's card. I coloured the image using my Chameleon pens. I like these pens for smaller image and clothes but I still haven't found the knack for doing anything to big, especially larger faces without them looking wrong.

I used a variety of dies to make this card and these include: Spellbinders grand circles and scalloped circles (for the card base and layers), X Cut Hearts for the hearts on the base and the banner is from LaLa Land Crafts. The flowers are the large and small dies from Memory Box (code: LR0162). The middle hearts and the layers for my greeting is made using my Brother Scan 'n' Cut.

The papers are from the Nitwits kit Butterfly Kisses and the dotty cardstock is from Hunkydory.

This card is for the following challenges:

* Anything Goes - Aud Sentiments, 613 Avenue Create, Craft Your Passions,
