Lili of the Valley - Sketch by Lena

Ok, there are way tooooo many challenge blogs out there now!! Literally, thousands and thousands!! I swear i can easily spend hours just looking through challenges etc and never actually get around to making a card!! This year - to try and increase time actually spent crafting I have decided that I am going to enter just a few of my favourite challenges and that I will try and support them on a regular basis - obviously if i can snoop around when blog hopping and see that my card can be used in other challenges too then thats a bonus!!

Its not surprises to anyone that checks my blog that Lili of the Valley and TGF are my favourites ( at the moment of course :p ) so I wanted to try and enter those challenges first. As LOTV places a new challenge up on Thursday I thought i best get my bottom into gear and set about following their gorgeous sketch!!


Totally girly and totally awesome right - I am LOVING how girly this card is!! I was looking through the website yesterday to set about ordering myself some new stamps, I saw this lil beauty and remembered that I bought some squares at NEC!! I have never used a die-cut image on a card before but I love how quick it was to make - i prettied the image up a wee bit, glittering her dress, giving the lil teddy a shiny nose and eyes, and shining up the bow on the present with my glossy pen. Soo simple!!

I have decided to try and start adding a list of supplies at the bottom of my post, I have seen them on lots of peoples blogs, and I find it really nice to see the products used so I can add to my wish list! - That and it will actually be really useful to me - I can see what I have used and can therefore in theory have a record of what works well together!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley - I followed the sketch
Aly's - Things with Wings
2 Sisters - Getting Girly
Pear Tree - Circles
Paper Sundaes - Circles

Colouring: Image highlighted with Stickles and sakura clear gloss pen
Papers : DCWV textured card, DCWV The Sweet Stack + random pale pink unknown!!
Tools: Nestabilities, circles, scalloped circles, label, paper piercer
Embellies: Pink gems, Craftwork Cards mini message

Totally agree with you - I too spend more time noting down the challenges than actually making anything for them!

This is a gorgeous creation though, very girly and pretty ~♥~
