PENNY BLACK CHALLENGE WEEK 135

Image is Penny Black 'snuggles'. Papers are all nitwit 'from the heart' collection, hearts are new die from joycrafts -border is Martha Stewart Valentine Lace and stickers were from the hobbycraft sale for the grand price of £.29p. Stickles glitter glue is crystal.

SIZZIX ROSES

This card has been made using a page from k and co cut n paste pad. Roses are the new sizzix bigz die 656545 which cuts the card in one fail swoop - a bit like when you peel an apple. You then roll the card around a pokey tool/stick to create the flower and hold together with sticky dots. Text is rub on from Basic Grey wholy Cow. Circle is a spellbinders die, flourishes are marianne die cuts. Pearls from stash and glitter is stickles crystal. Leaves are Martha Stewart branch punch.

BUNNIES IN THE BATH

This is one of the new Lili of the Valley images recently released. No patterned paper for once - card is bazzil bling, coloured with promarkers and copics, text created with dymo machine - like this idea -should use this more often. Border is Martha Stewart Valentine heart punch.

BUNNY WITH BALLOON

sometimes you just want to make an uncomplicated card and this fits the bill. Image is from Lili of the Valley- coloured with promarkers, backing template is a marianne frame die - embellished with windmill flowers punch from papermania. Stickles added as always - of course. This card is an a5 which is unusually small for me.

I LUV U

This valentine has been made with baby ladybug die from sizzix. Photo quality is not particularly good but papers are bo bunny a gift of love, text cut on cricut with pooh font, buttons and thread from stash. Heart bling from papermania.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

..... to try and post more frequently. It's not that I'm not crafting ... just not posting.

This card was made for this week's Lili of the Valley Thursday Challenge which was to follow this sketch and it was a pleasure. I followed it exactly and it was easy peasy.....

Image is obviously lili of the Valley, coloured with promarkers, papers are love tokens by helen jones and bazill basics. Embellished with stones from stash.
