Good Morning my lovely friends and blogging buddies

I was soooo excited to be picked as a guest designer for Lilies Little Fairies Challenge. I'm sure you must all know by know how much I LOVE all of the Lili of the Valley images so this is such an honour for me.

The theme for this week is Black Magic so with your Lili of the Valley image we would like to see you use either a touch or a lot of black.

As you can see, I have used quite a lot of black on my card. It isn't usually a colour I use much of so it made a nice change. I decided to use one of my older stamps which I haven't used for ages together with my new LOTV sentiment tags, I love these and think I will be using them a lot!

Items Used:

Ink Stamp - LOTV Thomas - Big Bunch of Flowers coloured with Promarkers

Sentiment Stamp - LOTV Sentiment tags

Papers - Doodlebug designs

Memory box - Cherry Blossom

Marianne Designs flower leaves

Spellbinders- Labels 8, ovals and scalloped ovals

So if you check out the Lilies Little Fairies Challenge Blog, you will be able to see the wonderful creations made by the talented design team and see who were the winners of the last challenge and I hope you will join in the challenge too.

I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:

Dream Valley - something old , something new ( old stamp, new sentiment tags)

MMCS - Anything Goes

Natalie and Amy - anything goes

Crafts and Me - Add a flower

Craft your Passion - flowers in the image

No Matter Which - Die cuts and/or Punches

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog today and for your support and encouragement, it really means so much to me.

DT card for Joanna Sheen Challenge - Going Dotty!

1:30 AM |

Good Morning my lovely friends and blogging buddies.
I hope you are all having a good weekend.

Today is the start of a new Joanna Sheen Challenge and for the next two weeks the theme is

Going Dotty!

So, this is my first card as part of the wonderful Design Team who have made me feel so welcome.

I was sent some gorgeous Jayne Netly Mayhew Decoupage sheets from her Winter Collection and some lovely spotty ribbon. As you may know, I enjoy using decoupage on my cards. What you may not know is that I LOVE penguins so this card was so much fun for me to make!

Sorry the picture isn't too brilliant, I added lots of glamour dust all round the edges of the layers and on the die cut border. Also there is a layer of glittery vellum , it is just a shame it doesn't show up on my photo.
