It's a Boy

Morning, this will be a quick post, yesterday I decided to catalogue my Lili of the Valley stamps, being as I almost have every stamp every released from the first original Jasmine & Oliver Stamps to the newest release its taking rather a long time, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. 

I came across this image, "Cosy Pram", which I don't think has ever seen Ink, so had a break from sorting out to make a quick card.  What with the fabulous Lemoncraft Paper Pad "Tiny Miracles", and the sweet image I didn't think this needed to much embellishment, just a bit of Lace, Ribbon and a few pearls, with a couple of diecuts, well for me thats not much embellishment.

I have coloured the image with Copics, and added some Polychromos Pencils on the Pram, Teddy and Blanket.  I used the Joy Craft Cutting & Embossing Butterfly Border Die which has been cut twice once in white card and once in paper from the Lemoncraft Pad,  I then cut it down into individual butterflies and arranged them around the image, I have also cut 2 Doo Hickey Labels and tucked them behind the image.

Jasmine - Phone

I am still struggling with my photos, I am sure I will get there in the end, if I remember correctly it took me an age when I first started blogging.  Today surprise, surprise its another sneak peek from the Lili of the Valley Oliver & Jasmine Collection.  I understand you have all been popping over to the shop to pre-order yours, if you haven't yet you still have until the 31st March.  Today we are showcasing Jasmine - Phone with a Sentiment from Sweet & Simple Sentiment Sheet

I have been out of the loop for so long that I have been blog hopping for the last few evenings and have found so much inspiration.  I was going to change my style and have a go at CAS, but when all is said and done I am a sucker for dies and flowers and as for backing papers I just cannot resist.

These delicious Pion Design Easter Greetings papers are from the Ribbon Girl they come on a 12 x 12 sheet with 4 -6 x 6 designs on each sheet, love them!!! also from the Ribbon Girl are the Roses,

Lilac Aster Flowers and the Ice Lime Green Seam Binding.  A Mixture of old and new Dioes hjave been used I think I can remember the Oval Doily was by Cheery Lyn, the Labels by Do-Hickey, my new dies both purchased from Noor Designs UK (I must say the Tracy's service is second to none, thanks dear), they are Joy Crafts Cutting & Embossing Viewmaster, and Joy CraftsCutting & Embossing Swirl Leaf Die.

The Copics used are:

Greens: YG63, G21

Mauves: BV00, BV000

Skin:  E000, E0000, E21, R20

for the Hair I used 3 Promarkers & PolyChromos Pencils

Buttercup,Mustard, Raw Sienna.

Hope you all have a fabulous day.
