Birthday Tea

     Just love those Lily of the Valley stamps....I have a special birthday girl I intend to send this to (its a surprise so I can't share it right now).  These little ladies were such a pleasure to color and layer on top of bright colors. It was one of those days where I had everything out on my stamping table, Embossing Folders, Spellbinders Dies, Ribbon, Rhinestones, Copics, and lovely, lovely colorful paper.......a card looking this nice on the outside needed an inside to match.

Thanks for looking,

Materials:  Lily of the Valley, Spellbinders, Mango Frost Matstack DCWV, Rhinestones, Ribbon,

Christmas Angels

     Recently purchased some adorable Lili of the Valley stamps for Christmas.  I immediately sat down and made 6 cards with the different images for my sisters and some other family members.  From my stash of Christmas DCWV I found some great paper...for this one I used a subtle background of holly leaves red on red with some gold metallic paper and Zva pearls (I like pearls) - These sweet little angels are mounted on my Spellbinders Floral Doily Motif die.  Sparingly used my glitter pen on their wings, stars and shoes.....I was very pleased with how this and the others all turned out.  Such simple but darling images.

Thanks for stopping by,

A little LOV (Lily of the Valley)

     Finished playing with the card I started yesterday....it .needs to be in the mail later this week.  It is a bright and cheerful card that carries special Birthday wishes with it to a friend.
     I just love this little Lily of the Valley stamp "Rosie with Cake" - like all of their stamps she is just adorable.  Just received the Christmas ones I ordered last week and all I can say is 'sweet, sweet, sweet'!!!
     Even sweeter is the Cheery Lynn  Fanciful Flourish die I used to surround my Spellbinders Lacey Circle...The delicacy and details of this flourish are fabulous. I could play with them all day.
