It's Thursday again which means another challenge at Lili Of The Valley and this week we are celebrating the Royal Wedding so we want to see your 'Love Is In The Air' projects and cards. We are again being sponsored by Lisa & Laila who have kindly donated a £10.00 voucher to spend in the LOTV Online Shop. Don't forget, to be eligble for the prize you must use an LOTV image on your project. The DT have created some beautiful cards so why not pop on over to the blog and have a look.
Today I have made a little easel card. First I covered both parts of the base card with DP. Next I stamped and coloured the image with promarkers and cut and layered with my nesties and attached with foam pads. Having punched out a couple of lattice hearts, I then stamped and coloured the circular sentiment (which is from the new LOTV Additions range) and attached with foam pads, making sure the hearts were behind the sentiment.
Another sentiment was stamped, layered and attached to the bottom of the base card. Finally I punched some butterflies from some glittered handmade paper and attached these in a staggered fashion adding gems to their bodies giving the illusion of flight. A couple of punched butterflies added to the main image finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Oops! I can see a stray gem... Maybe the glue hadn't quite dried before I shoved the card in the scanner. Too tired to scan it again so will just make sure the gem is glued back on before going to bed.
I followed the great sketch using these gorgeous papers and added some punched photo corners. Tilda has been coloured with promarkers and glitter. Not only have I paper pieced her dress but I have also 3D'd her. The flowers and leaves have been punched with gems added to the centres. A few more gems and a peel-off greeting finishes the card. Thanks for looking.

Time for another great challenge at Creative Inspiration and this time it's 'Digi Day' so we want to see what you do with all your digital stamps and papers etc. We are kindly being sponsored this time by The Stamping Boutique who have donated a great prize.
I decided to do an easel card to fit an A5 envelope so needed to keep my image quite large. I just love this digi from The Stamping Boutique, she is called 'Hidden'. I have coloured her with promarkers and brushed on some glitter glue for sparkle. All the flowers have been sprayed with pearl Glimmer Mist to give them sparkle too. Hope you like this one, thanks for lookings.

Apologies for bad photo, don't know what went wrong with the colour, this is the best of a bad bunch.
This is the step card I made for my sister's birthday. The base card is chocolate brown with chocolate gingham paper added. She loves the Autumn colours so I coloured 'Rosie Posy' accordingly with promarkers. I punched some leaves and flowers and added her favourite colour roses to the centres. A bit of card candy finishes this simple card, hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Sorry for the late posting again, still not enough energy to stay awake long. Anyway, enough of that. Here is my card for the Creative Inspiration Challenge where this time we want to see all your wonderful Easter projects. Our great sponsors this time are Simon Says Stamps and Whiff Of Joy Stamps who are kindly donating some fantastic prizes for one lucky winner. The rest of the DT have made some gorgeous cards and projects so don't forget to pop along to their blogs to see them.
Whenever I think of Easter I not only think of all those lovely chocolate eggs but I also think of Easter Bonnets which is why I have used this lovely image on my card. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and tried to give it a slightly vintagy look.
The sentiment stamp is one of the new LOTV Additions stamps that are being released at LOTV on Thursday 14th April (not long now). These are great as you can alter the middle bit with various other words to make different messages, how cool is that?
I like the soft look of this one and hope you do too, thanks for looking.

It's Thursday again which means another challenge at Lili Of The Valley and this week we want to see your 'Spring' projects and cards. This time we are being sponsored by Wild Orchid Crafts who have kindly donated some of their fantastic flowers and lace for one lucky winner. Don't forget though, to be eligble for the prize you have to use an LOTV image on your project. The DT have created some beautiful cards so why not pop on over to the blog and have a look.
The image I have used for this card is called 'Destiny's Moon' and I have coloured it with Promarkers and added glitter to the wings and ball. After layering it very simply I embossed and cut the edge of the card adding some of the paper behind it. The flowers and ribbon slider have been punched and embossed from gold mirri and pearl card and I have added green gem stars to the centres of the flowers. An organza ribbon and bow finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

I have coloured my image with Promarkers and cut and layered it using my Nesties. I then arranged some flowers and leaves around the edge. Adding some card candy finished it off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
