Hello everyone and happy Sunday... yes I'm back with another card from the 

brand new release from Polkadoodles.

Perfect for all those Halloween projects.  Creepy Creatures collection is a fantastic collection of 3 bundles.  Cute & Creepy, Witches & Broomsticks and Creepy Things, 

Inside the collection you’ll find everything from pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, bats, monsters and creepy dolls, to witches, broomsticks, cauldrons, spell books, black cats and potion bottles.

For my spooky card today I chose to use the pre-coloured Witch with Sunflower Hat from the Witches and Broomsticks bundle, she is available for you to colour too!

It's a larger A7 or 5" x 7" card so I resized the character to suite my design and then printed out before fussy cutting out ready for the card. 

I chose one of the spooky purple papers from the collection, die cutting and arch in the centre of the paper.  I blended distress ink around the edge of the paper to add darker tones and added a purple die cut frame around the arch.

The sentiment is from the collection, printed and fussy cut out.

To finish off the design I added some purple confetti around the the card and glossy accents to the centre of the sunflower.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

New Release - Autumn Girls - Autumn Wishes - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Saturday and a great weekend ahead......

I'm back today with another Autumn has card using one of the brand new Autumn Girls stamps by Lili of the Valley (LOTV)  

There are 10 absolutely gorgeous Autumn girls available in the Etsy shop as a full set or you can buy the individual stamps if you prefer.

For my card today I've used the gorgeous Reading Girl coloured with my promarkers.  These gorgeous images don't really need much so I used distress inks blended across the sky background.

The sentiment I have used is from the Autumn Sentiments set  simply nestled into the design.

I decided to die cut an arched frame for the little scene, using a pretty paper from the secret garden collection.  After cutting the arch away, I blended orange ink around the paper then splattered it with copper watercolour paint.

I ink smooshed a couple of strips of watercolour card using orange, brown and green distress ink and then once dried, die cut lots of leaves to scatter at the bottom of the card.

Finishing touches were some champagne confetti and white gelly roll pen highlights.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

For my card today I chose to use the the Witches Scruffy Cat digital image - I love cats especially black ones, there's just something about them.... perhaps its my inner witch clambering to get out LOL

It's a smaller A6 card so I resized the kitty to suite my design and then printed out on alcohol marker friendly card before colouring with my promarkers..

There are 10 absolutely gorgeous new Autumn girls now available in the Etsy shop and I know you will love them all so why not have a look.

 

For my card today I've used the adorable Pumpkin Girl coloured with my promarkers.  These gorgeous images don't really need much so I used distress inks blended across the background with a little ink splattering for texture.

For my third card I've used the cute little Spider - can spiders actually be cute ? hmm I'm not sure but maybe its the hat as this one definitely is.

I resized the spider to fit my 6" x6" card and then printed out, colouring with promarkers before fussy cutting out....I also printed out a fabulous spooky sentiment too.

I then create a simple stencilled background with some distress oxide inks and a spider web stencil.

To create a tunnel effect I die cut 3 hexagonal frames from black glitter card and adhered these over the stencilled panel offsetting each to give a spiralling effect before adding the little spider into his web using foam tape for a little dimension.

Finishing touches were some glossy accents to the spiders eyes and some purple confetti around the design for my definitely too cute to spook card.

The card is a larger A7 card 5" x 7" with a background made from grey card stock that has been stencilled with brick work....I added extra white gel pen highlights to the brickwork.  I wanted to create the look of a doorway to a spooky house.  I added an arch of brown for the doorway and cut out an arched aperture.

Steps for the doorway were simply cut from grey card and shaded with ink and then adhered to the bottom of the door.

New Release - Christmas in July - Photo Strip - Penguin with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Friday....I hope you have all had a great week....we finally both seem to be over our nasty cough and colds - its been about 8 weeks and I thought it was never going away...fingers crossed.

We've ordered our acequia water today so I'm off to help out with the watering - hopefully the plants will love it!

I'm here today with another Christmas card for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using one of the new Photo booth digital stamp sets.

This card feature the Penguin Photo Strip set set available in the Etsy shop.

These are such versatile stamps and can be used all together as one image or you can split them as I have done to create my card today......did I mention that I think are adorable and there's a sale on in the shop at the moment until 31st July so don't miss out!

This is the front of the card which is an A7 Landscape card, I've used one of the gorgeous papers from the Essential Papers Frosty Christmas set, layered onto silver glitter card.  The sentiment was stamped and cut out and I used a very old snowflake punch to add a little detail around the word. 

A beautiful card in itself but then when you open up the card you get a wonderful surprise!

Its the silly penguin trying to get photos of himself in the photo booth - oh my goodness what is he doing.. LOL

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers and matting with coloured card.  I added each little panel to the pop out W strip a little wonky and I think it works really well.

The paper on the inside of my card is from an old paper pad but I thought the design was perfect for this penguins antics.

Finishing touches were some glittery sparkle on the penguins hat and little punched snowflakes.

I hope that you like my cards today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Sunday....I hope you are enjoying the weekend...its very hot here at the moment so I've been having quite a bit of time in the shade and trying to keep cool with lots of water to drink lol.

I'm here today with 4 sweet little Christmas cards for Lili of the Valley (LOTV) using one of the new Photo booth digital stamp sets.

These cards feature the Snowman Photo Strip set set available in the Etsy shop.

These are such versatile stamps and can be used all together as one image or you can split them as I have done to create 4 separate cards that I think are adorable.

Just some simple colouring with my promarkers and matting with coloured card.  I die cut little windows for the images and used embossing folders to create texture at the bottom of the panels.
