Lili Of The Valley - Panda #2

Good Morning

I'm spreading the 'panda love' again today, using another of the new 'Panda' stamps from Lili Of The Valley. As I mentioned yesterday the panda's are available as both polymer stamps and digital stamps, and can be purchased as single stamps or in bundles (see below for info). They have now launched in their store....so grab yours To colour my cute panda I again used pastel pencils as they're a really quick medium to use. I hope you like it.

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 purple patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. Then glued a fancy white doily die cut into the centre. 

The panda, butterfly and sentiment was stamped onto mixed media card. Everything was coloured with pastel pencils. The finished scene was sprayed with a fixative to ensure the pastel wouldn't smudge. The scene was die cut into a circle and mounted onto a lilac scalloped frame. Funky foam was added to the back. The topper was glued to the card front. To finish the card, I added white pen to the panda's eyes and nose, and a few pearls.

Lili Of The Valley - Panda #1

Good Morning

Hi everyone, I'm back again highlighting Lili Of The Valley's brand new stamps sets. Today I'm sharing a card I've made using one of the gorgeous 'Panda' stamps. The panda's are available as both polymer stamps and digital stamps, and can be purchased as single stamps or in bundles (see below for info). They have now launched in their store. To colour my little panda I used pastel pencils, and kept the card design fresh and clean. I hope you like it.

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 bright green patterned paper to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

The panda and sentiment was stamped onto mixed media card, then onto masking paper. The panda was fussy cut out and placed over the top of the first bear. The bamboo was then stamped over the top (to give the illusion that it sits behind the bear). The mask was then removed, and everything was coloured with pastel pencils. The finished scene was sprayed with a fixative to ensure the pastel wouldn't smudge. 

The scene was die cut into a square postage stamp frame and mounted onto pale green card. The topper was added to a slightly larger postage stamp frame, cut from white card. Funky foam was added to the back and glued to the card front. To finish the card, I added white pen to the panda's eyes and nose, and a few pearls.  

Polymer Stamp Set:

Amanda Jane Designs - Little Witches

 Hi everyone

I'm with another of my (Guest Design Team) GDT card made using one of the digi stamps from Amanda Jane Designs (AJD) Today I have a lovely little witch for you, now I know we're a long way off to Halloween but it doesn't hurt to get ahead. :) So I'm sharing one of the witch digi stamps from the 'Little Witches' bundle, which I combined with my own sentiment and swirls. I used pastel pencils and coloured pencils to colour with. I hope you like it. 

FYI - Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did

I trimmed down a sheet of Halloween paper to fit the front of a 5½" x 5" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. This was attached to the card front.

I imported the little witch into my software and resized her to fit my project and added my own typed sentiment. The image was printed onto mixed media cardstock, then die cut with a square die. The image was coloured with pastel pencils, then coloured pencils were added over the top for extra dimension. I added black dotted swirls with a fineliner and black die cut stars.

The completed picture was glued to a black die cut postage stamp mat, and glued onto the centre of the card front. To finish off the card I added glitter to the stars and the hat buckle. 

Here's What I Used 

Digi Stamp: Little Witches Bundle

Pastel Pencils and Prismacolor Pencils: Coloured on request

Lili Of The Valley - Cute Elephant #4

Hi there

If you live in the UK, I hope you enjoyed your May Bank Holiday. I'd love to say the weather was great here in the north East...but as usual is was rubbish! Anyhow back to cardmaking. Lol

I'm back to share the last of my Lili Of The Valley 'Cute Elephant' cards. For today's card I used 'Balloon - Elephant' and coloured her up using pastel pencils again. I hope you enjoyed the preview of all the gorgeous little characters. For all the cards I've made over the past few days I used the polymer stamps and might I say the elephants are quite large, but there will be digital versions of the stamps if you prefer to resize them or flip them - the links will be added this week.

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 covered the front of a 5" x 7" card blank with dotty lilac paper. 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 rectangle. The scene was coloured with various pastel pencils, and mounted onto a lilac mat. The topper was glued flat onto the front of the card. To finished the card I added a few pearls around the sentiment. 

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

Polymer Stamp Set: Cute Elephants

Digi Stamp Set - Balloon Elephants

Digital Sentiment - Spring Mix 32 Sentiments

Stabilo Pastel Pencils: Elephants - 720, 635, 690, 750, 105, 311, 215 / Balloon - 385 / Grass - 560, 570, 575 / Sky - 435 (some of the colour was removed with an eraser to give a paler shade), 365

 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.

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.

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.
