Feathered Friend

Hope you all got your new Lili of the Valley Christmas stamps that you wanted :)  I’ve a Belles n Whistles Little Friend card to share today, I missed out on this image when it was in Sugar Nellie rubber but am glad I waited as the B & W stamp is smaller so does not cover the whole card (got to have room for me embellies lol).

I got very brave and cut in to my new Maja Design papers from Dies to Die For.  These are the Carpe Diem 12 x 12 papers, utterly stunning!  They are so gorge they even got the sewing machine treatment (which I have not been doing as everything is upside down with the garage conversion so I had to dig it out from behind a pile of stuff lol).  The little die cut corner is a now retired Quickutz die that I lost a few weeks ago!!!  I was gutted but all I can say is I have the BEST friends, I found one in the US but the shipping was something like $30 for a little die!!!  My fab little angel in the US came to my rescue and got it for me, sent it out priority mail along with a box full of the most delish nougat (I am addicted to nougat lol).  The die is now in a safe place and the nougat is hidden away so I get to keep it all for ME!!  Lol.  Thanks sweets xxxx

Coloured with copics and a black prismacolor pencil:
Skin: E11, 01, 000, R20, 30
Hair: E29, 25, 50
Clothing and Grass: YG63, 61, G20
Flowers: Y32, 30
Tree and birdhouse: E79, 74, 70

The organza rose trim, 25mm rose, sweetheart blossoms, tulips and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The narrow gingham ribbon is from The Ribbon Box and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley clear Additions.

That’s it from me today, I am heading back downstairs to supervise (umm get in the way) again lol.  The ceiling is almost up whoop whoop.  I can see a light at the end of the tunnel even though my poor hubby has a long way to go yet.

Have a great week

hugs

    Stunning card Bev - such soft beautiful shades. The use of black doesn't overpower in any way.

    Absolutely wonderful, Bev! Lots of lovely detail and embellies, which all compliment the design beautifully!
    I've 'lost' my little Quikcutz die like that as well but it hasn't been out of the house so I keep hoping I'll discover it somewhere!

    This is gorgeous, love this image well I love all Elisabeth Bell images lol and am so glad Belles & Whistles are re releasing this set.
    I don't know how anyone can charge that ridiculous sum for such a small die, this is quite often the problem with buying overseas isn't it.
