Last Sneak Peek From Lili of the Valley Cars Plus a Returning Friend

2 cards rather late in the day,  I forgot to post the last of the Vintage Car images from Lili of the Valley May release this one is called "Vintage Sports".  this is just the sort of car I would like to be taken about in.

Very CAS card for me but the image speaks for itself, I used 2 downloaded maps for this one, the top map is of my favourite part of the country Devon.  The background paper came from my stash and is years old, I think it was a Basic Grey sheet.  I have also used 2 sentiments from Lili of the Valley - Sentiment Set 101 - Teenage Boy Sentiments.

Luckly I kept a note of the Copic colours I used in my colouring journal so here we go:

Greys: C5, C3, C2, C1, C00

Blues: B41, B000, B0000

Reds: R05

Yellows: Y33, Y08, Y02

Browns: E15, E41

Greens: G94, YG63, G21, G94, YG23, YG21

 Together with the New Cars, Pub, Shed and Caravan stamps Lili of the Valley  will also be bringing back 3 old favourite Boy Images.  This is the first of the Returning Friends "On My Bike"

Thought I would make an easel card for a change, the papers are from Nitwits Collection - Up Up and Away, another CAS card I am getting quite good at trying to do less is more. The Happy Birthday Sentiment is another LOTV  Stamp fom Sheet 8 - Happy Circular Sentiments. The Buttons were from Mums old Button Box, I am going to have to make one of my own now.

The Copics used for this image are:

Blues: B28, B24, B41

Browns: E15, E97, E50

Greys - GTyres N3, Nw2, N0, Shoes/Bike C7, C3, C1, C00

Hair: E74, E43, E41

Flesh: E21, E00, E000

Thats it for today, still waiting for the forecast snow, but up until now it has been a beautiful sunny but chilly day.

Thanks for visiting

Lili of the Valley Sneak Peek 5

Before I start with todays cards I would like to tell you about some exciting news I had this weekend, Mary and Andrea aka The Ribbon Girls asked me to join their design team of course I accepted, who wouldn't, the offer came as a complete surprise especially as I have lost a lot of confidence over the past couple of years, so a big thank you to Mary & Andrea.  I cannot wait to get started and to be working with such a talented Design Team.   

This is sneak peek no 5 of the soon to be released Lili of the Valley stamp collection this image is called "In The Shed", when I first saw the image I thought it would only be appropriate for mens cards, but after thinking about it, there are lots of us Ladies who love gardening and a shed isn't a male domain any more.

Rowan Fairy

Hello Peeps, Hope you are all having a good weekend.    Another  Whimsy Wee Stamp today this one is Rowan Fairy, I don't know what has happened with the colours on this photo, her hair and the papers are much more of a pinky mauve than they appear here. 

Once again I have used papers from Nitwits Collections this one is called Lilac Blossom. I fancied giving her colourful hair and am quite pleased with the results, its a bit out of my comfort zone.

Rowan has been coloured with Copics colours below, and I sprinkled Frantage over the image, and used lots of flowers.  I love the Little Melissa Frances Picture Frames that are available from Live & Love Crafts, its has been used to frame a sentiment from Lili of the Valley Set 100 Teenage Girl Sentiment Stamps, which fits the frame beautifully.

Loving the new flowers & Berrys  I bought from Live & Love Crafts this week,couldn't wait to use them.

Just Dropping By

Good morning all, a very quick post today, got some new stamps that need colouring, I am so impatient, I know, but when the urge comes I am afraid I have to give in to it.  One of Lili of the Valley Returning Friends Stamps today, such a sweet bunny,  The photos are getting there although this one is a bit light at least its in focus.

Balloon Bunny , has been coloured with Copics, the Papers are from a Lili of the Valley Paper Pad which I am afraid is no longer available but I think it is still available as a download from Nitwit Collections - the collection is called Promises.

The ribbon is from a cheap reel I found at the Range, lots of other colours available, Flowers are from Stash and finally the leaves were cut with A Joy Craft Die - Vintage Flourish Leaf No:0046, available from Noor Designs UK. 

Copics Used:

Bear: E74, E43, E42, E40, R81

Mauves: V15, V12, V000

Have a Good Day,
