LOTV Guest Designer - Wonderful Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone and Happy TGIF! I like to share some news with you today! For the month of March I am a guest designer at Lili of the Valley. Sooo exciting! What a surprise when I received the email from the wonderful Anne from LOTV asking me if I would be interested in a GD position for the month of March. And of course I said yes *smile*  it's my honor and pleasure! Thank you for  having me!

I also want to say thanks to the lovely Dena. It's due to her post on Facebook where she mentioned me so Anne found the way onto my blog! :) My GD projects will be posted on the LOTV's Ideas to Inspire blog.

There is also still time to join LOTV's 9th birthday celebration. Create a birthday card and enter to win some yummy stamps and having the chance of being selected as a GD ! For all the details please visit the LOTV blog HERE

Ok now onto my first GD project. I used the super cute "Flower Arranging" stamp from the newest release:

The adorable image was colored with my Copic's (for list of colors used, please scroll down). I also used one of the 'Everyday Grungy Messages'. One of my favorite sentiment sets, as they are so super versatile! Well this image just screamed for bright and vernal colors so I chose the DP from Bo Bunny's 'Alora' collection. My flowers are from WOC and Prima. The large butterfly is a Cheery Lynne die and the small ones are die cut with a Memory Box die.

A closer look onto the image. I also added some Glossy Accents to the vase to make it look like glass and for a 3D effect. You can see that a bit better on the following picture here:

Copic's used:
R00, R21, R24, R27, R29 - E70 E71, E74, E79
C00, C1, C3 - B000, B0000 - YG11, YG13, YG17 - T0, T1, T3

The inside was decorated with the same DP to complement the outside of the card.

This card has been sold, thanks so much!

This is also my entry for the Whoopsie Daisy Challenge: 'Add a Sentiment'

Thank you for visiting me today and have a good day all!

Hugs,

Happy Weekend Everyone! I received my LOTV order this week and despite all the stress during the last couple of days I was able to color one of these cuties and make a card.Needed the crafting time to relax.... Sorry about the bad photo quality. I don't have access to my photo lights and tent at the moment :-(

This little LOTV girl is called Snow Queen and I colored her using ShinHan Touch Twin markers. Papers are from Magnolia and Whimsy. Sentiment is also from Whimsy. From the 'Tis the Season Notables 5' sentiment set and cut out with the matching die. Other dies used are from Magnolia: doily flowers, hellebores, star tag and leaf.  You can get Magnolia dies and stamps now also at DPC! Just email Darlene! Flowers are from WOC. Snowflake and border punch are from MS.

The inside is decorated as well......

and the card comes in a handmade matching box instead of an envelope!

Touch Twin markers used:

Skin: YR132 - 133, BR107, R140

Santa's Coming To Town - Funky Fold Card

Happy Tuesday stamping friends! How cute is this little fella balancing all his gifts!? One of my fav Christmas images from LOTV, not a new one but still oh so cute!

I made a different card shape this time, a funky fold card. Coloring is done with Copics and DP is from Basic Greys new 'Nordic Holiday' collection. Sentiment is from Whimsy's Holiday Ticket Sentiment Stamp Set. Snowflake dies are from Spellbinders (Create a Flake 1 & 3) and the Holly Swirl die is from Memory Box. Cherry Blossom is a Whimsy Bud and the mulberry paper aster I got from ebay.

To make the image pop I used different Stickles and Spica Glitter pens.

Here you can see the 'funky fold' from the side.

Happy Saturday Everyone and thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are all doing well. I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend with plenty of sunshine hopefully. Little bit on the cooler side though but I don't mind as long as I can see the sunJust perfect for a trip to the flea market.

The card I like to show you today is made using a LOTV stamp. I'm in love with this cute ballerina.  Isn't she the cutest. It's my first time with these cute stamps but I'm already fallen for them I think.

She was colored with Copics and I added Stickles on her little anntena and on the floor. For even more glitz I dusted the image all around with super fine glitter from MS. The Border die I've used is from Magnolia and the circle die is a Nellie Snellen MultiFrame. The branch die is a Marianne Creatables. Flowers gems and pins are from my stash. The charm is from SCACD. The grossgrain ribbon is from my stash and the light pink grid mesh ribbon I found at Susanne's store: Embellishments.de.

Here you c an see all the glitter I've added!

The inside is finished to complement the outside.

Hope to see you tomorrow when a new LHO Challenge starts!

Have a great Saturday!

Hugs,
