Lili Of The Valley - Teatime Party Initials #2

Hi everyone

I'm back again with another gorgeous Lili Of The Valley digi stamp from the new 'Teatime Party Initials' collection which launches today in the LOTV Etsy shop. The collection includes rabbits and mice with letters of the alphabet; the little characters are all having fun at their own little tea party. Each letter of the alphabet depicts a cute little scene, but the letters can be combined to made a name or word. There is also several accessories available such as birds, banners and flowers etc. The stamps will will be perfect for all occasions, especially birthdays. The letters are available individually or in a bundle. For my card today I used the letter 'T' and Copic pens to colour with.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stampsand the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.


Here's What I Did
To start with I added a piece of pretty lilac paper to the front of a 5" x 7" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

Using my graphics software I imported the sweet little 'T' image and a sentiment from a previous collection, I resized then both to fit my project. The image was printed directly onto colouring cardstock and die cut into a fancy oblong. The image was coloured in using Copic pens and mounted onto a matching lilac die cut mat. I added glitter to the letter 'T'. Funky foam was glued to the back of the topper and attached to the centre of the card front.

To finish the card I added die cut flowers and leaves plus a few pearls.

Lili Of the Valley - 'Old But New' Stamps #1

Hi everyone

I hope you're all keeping safe and healthy, and you're finding seeing some kind of normality...whatever that is. I have to admit I'm still pretty scared about going out, and won't be venturing anywhere that has masses of people eg pubs, cinemas or restaurants etc.

Anyhow on a happier note, today I am sharing a card I've made using one of the 'old but new' digi stamps from Lili Of the Valley (LOTV). The cute stamp I used is called 'Telephone Ted', which I coloured with pencils.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stampsand the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.
