Lili Of The Valley - James Gardening

Afternoon Everyone

Well as I promised I'm back with more James Bear stamps from Lili Of The Valley. In fact there are 2 brand new stamps - 'James Fishing' and 'James Gardening' which will be available as both digi stamps and in a polymer stamp set. The polymer stamps sets will contain both the new stamps and a few oldies and are called - 'James Take It Easy' and 'James Thinking Of You' - the sets are on advance order and will be shipped from the 7th April. They are all adorable!

Anyhow, for today's card I've used the 'James Gardening' polymer stamp and coloured him up using my distress re-inkers. I created a CAS card by teaming up the cute James stamp with a large edge die. 

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 a piece of watercolour card down to 4½" x 6½" and die cut the top section with the 'Happy' edger die. The lovely James Bear was stamped on the bottom of the card and coloured up with distress re-inkers and pencils; blue and brown distress ink was applied around the edges to create a vignette. A sentiment was stamped just below the cut out section at the top of the card. 

A piece of the same red card was trimmed down to approx 4¾ x 6½" and using a heart stencil I applied brown distress ink right across the card to add a kittle extra interest. When the ink was dry it was added to the card front. The painted scene was mounted flat onto the card front.

To finish the card, the word 'happy' was die cut twice from red card then glued together, this was then placed in the corresponding space along with a some tiny flowers.
