Lili Of The Valley - Cute Elephants #2

 Good Afternoon

Well I'm back with my 2nd Lili Of The Valley card of the day featuring another of the new 'Cute Elephant stamps. As I mentioned in my previous post the collection will be available as both polymer and digi stamps. After their launch today (Sunday 30th April) at Stamperama in Harrogate, they will be available in the LOTV Etsy store later this week. The stamps are really adorable and perfect for all occasions.

For today's card I used 'Flower Elephant' and coloured her up using pastel pencils....which are my favourite colouring medium atm. Tomorrow I will be sharing 'Dreaming Elephant' coloured with distress inks. I hope you like them all so far.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I die cut a piece of orange card using a fancy frame and glued it flat onto the front of a 6" x 6" card blank. The sentiment was printed onto pastel colouring card first, then the elephant was stamped with black ink just below it and die cut into a square. The scene was coloured with various pastel pencils, and mounted onto a orange scalloped mat. To finish the card, funky foam was added to the back of the topper and glued into the centre of the card front. 

FYI - I used a paper stump to blend the pencils and a fixative spray to stop the pencils from smearing.

Lili Of the Valley - Cute Elephants #1

Good Afternoon

Over the next 2 days I have a couple of lovely new Lili Of The Valley stamps to share with you. The stamp collection is called  'Cute Elephants' and they will be available as both polymer and digi stamps. The launch took place today (Sunday 30th April) at Stamperama in Harrogate, then they will be available in the LOTV Etsy store later this week. The stamps are so sweet and perfect for birthday and births etc.

For today's card I used 'Hello Elephant' and coloured it with Copic pens. Later today I will be sharing 'Flower elephant' which I coloured with pastel pencils. I will hopefully share the last 2 tomorrow to celebrate the May Bank Holiday here in the UK.

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of pretty pastel paper and covered the front of a 5" x 7" top fold card. A 6½" x 4½" rectangle cut from a co-ordinating piece paper from the same pad was glued onto the centre of the card front. 

The sentiment was printed onto colouring card first, then the elephant was manually stamped just below it. The scene was coloured with Copic pen and die cut into a rectangle, white dots were added to the 'Hello' sentiment.. The completed scene was mounted onto a blue die cut postage stamp rectangle frame; funky foam was added to the back. To finish the card, the topper was glued to the centre of the card, and pearls were added along the top.
