Megan is 3 !

Hi Crafters,

 

Thank you for visiting today - it's lovely to see you here.

Cute little Maisie from Lili of the Valley is the focal piece on my card for today but I think she is now discontinued as I can't find her in the shop :(

She was the perfect image needed for this commissioned card order and the colours requested were purple and lime green so the LOTV Bonnets and Bowties paper pad were perfect too.

Repeat Post

Hi Everyone,
Well that's the first time I've encountered that! Mr Linky won't let me enter a second card in to a challenge if it has the same URL as another card that's already entered. I'm sure I've managed to post two cards on my blog and enter them in to the same challenge before. Nevermind, I'm afraid you will have to endure a repeat post for my second Maisie card so I can use a new URL.
So here is 'Maisie' revisited...

 

So this card uses  'Maisie Two Balloons' by LOTV and My Minds Eye papers - 'The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine' and some cut apart banners from the pad with a few MME enamel dots thrown in for good measure.

Practising Colouring Balloons

Hi Everyone,
I've had this gorgeous little Lili of the Valley stamp in my stash for ages and haven't used it before - shame on me -  so I thought I had better ink it up and colour it today. The balloons were a challenge to colour because I wanted to be able to see through the front one and make it translucent. So I have been practising and made two cards to show today and another that I will share tomorrow.

This is 'Maisie Two Balloons' and isn't she a sweetie !
I coloured her and the balloons with my Promarkers but paper pieced the dress using a design paper from 'The Shabby Shack' paper pad, also from Lili of the Valley.
Both papers on this card were from the same pad. I embossed the green one with a Stampin'Up embossing folder.
The little banners are MFT dies and that's an LOTV sentiment stamp too.
Then I glittered around the image with glamour dust, something I picked up from Dawny P.

My second card is along the same theme but with an orange and yellow colour scheme.

 

 

So this card is similar but uses My Minds Eye papers - 'The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine' and some cut apart banners from the pad with a few MME enamel dots thrown in for good measure.
