LOTV Launching Christmas People Collection 2010 - Sneekpeek

Wooohooo!!! Today Lili of the Valley's DT is showing off sneekpeeks of the new Christmas People Collection 2010 launched at the web-shop today!!!

And WOW! These are the most fabolous christmas stamps ever!!!
I love them all - and I'm sure you will too :)

Head over to the LOTV Inspiration blog, to take a peek and to find links to the rest of the DT, so you can visit them and see what they have made for you, showing sneekpeeks from the new christmas collection ;)

I've had fun crafting with this beauty - "All Wrapped Up", making my first Christmas card of the year :)

Card recipe:

Size: 15 x 15 cm

Ink: Archival Ink - Jet Black, Distress Ink - Weathered Wood to ink some of the edges, and Refills for colouring the adorable image (mainly in the colours of Shipped Safire & Pumice Stone).

Stamps: LOTV - "All Wrapped Up" & Christmas text. 

Inside the card I've used the Inkadinkado stamps - Winter Schrolls.

Papers: Maja Design - Vintertid "Kyla" &  "Snöflingor" (from last years Christmas Collection), Bazzill - white canvas & blue shimmer acrdstock, Canson - Montval aquarellpaper 200g.

Tools: Marianne Design - CreaTables LR 0112 (Bunny Zoe's Crafts), Spellbinders - Nesting Classic & Petite Circles.

Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts - Hybrid Tea Roses 25 mm (blue), Paper Roses 10mm & 15 mm (navyblue, babyblue, cornflower & grey/navyblue), Poinsettias (white - cooming soon) & Pearl Spray, Kort & Godt - rhinestones.

The girls muff & tassels and all the beautiful roses are springled with glass glitter.

If you look closely at the image, it seems like the girl is covered with tiny snowflakes...an effect as a result of trying to seal my printer ink with Fixativ spray :) Quite cool, ha?

Hurry - more sneekpeeks are on at the LOTV Inspiration Blog, and all of the georgeous Christmas People Collection 2010 may now be bought at the LOTV web shop!!

I have a feeling this will run out fast :)
