Happy Birthday

Is everyone ready for the new Christmas release at Lili of the Valley?  There will be lots of sneak peeks and fun prizes on the LOTV Ideas to Inspire blog and, of course, all the adorable new images will be available soon!  Just wait until you see them!  Remember to check the LOTV Ideas to Inspire Blog on the 18th when all the fun starts!



Before the sneak peeks of the new release start, I have another card to share using one of the adorable images from the last release, Emma Presents.  She is so sweet!  I paired the image with some patterned papers from My Mind’s Eye’s Just Dreamy 2 line.

 
I die cut my image with a circle nestability die and then colored it with copic markers.   I used these marker colors: BG000, BG01, BG02, R24, R27, R46, R89, E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, W1, W5, W7, W9, YR12, YR16, YR18, R30, R32, E30, E31, E53, E55, E57, E59, YG63, YG67, E37, B32, B34, C2.  After coloring my image, I masked it and used my air compressor and few copic markers (YR30, YR32, W5) to spray the floor and background behind the image.

I stitched all my layers, added some ribbon and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and a sentiment from the Happy Circular Sentiments stamp set.

 
I decorated the inside of my card with the same patterned papers I used on the front of the card.  I added a sentiment from the A5 Verses stamp set.  I stitched my layers and finished it off with a little red felt heart.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Niki
