Peaches and Cream at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge

Happy Thursday everyone!! I hope that you are all having a magnificent week! Gosh I had so many visitors yesterday that it made me a nervous wreck, but if you haven't checked out my SPECIAL SWEET STUFF be sure to scroll down or click on the picture on my right sidebar. There are some very nice surprises so I hope you will take a moment and check it out!!!

Today is a new challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge where our theme this week is PEACHES and CREAM. There is a wonderful prize available from Which Crafts?, the home of the 'For Your Inspiration' - Blank Card Collection. So we hope that you will join with us this week and show us your interpretation of the theme!!

For my card I used one of the fun Elegant Step Card bases from our sponsor...Thank you so much, Paula!!! The double matting is Bazzill, the floral DP is from the Marianne Design Old-Fashioned Nursery Collection, and the peach striped DP is from Cardworkcards Vintage Rose paper pack. The darling image is LOTV Best Dress from the latest release at LOTV. She was stamped on X-Press It and colored with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, and Copics, adding a touch of Stardust Stickles to the floating flowers. For the horizontal I used some Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon tied into a triple flat bow to dangle a heart charm from Mixed Heart Charm Collection. The floral treatment, resting on MS punched branches, is all from WOC: Trellis Rose, Hip Rosebuds, Calla Lilies, Lilies, and a few White Long Stem Stamens. I added several Self-Adhesive Pearls to soften some corners and the sweet sentiment is from the LOTV Set 6 - Dreamy Days Circular Sentiments.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you will want to visit me again real soon! Have a delightful day and until we meet again, I send big hugs!!

LOTV Birthday Bumps for Papertake Weekly and WINNER!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend and are well into a marvelous week. It has been gorgeous here BUT last night it was bad thunderstorms and tornados...so I am thankful that I am not visiting Dorothy and Toto this morning.....eeeeek!!!

This week I was invited by DawnyP over at Papertake Weekly Challenge to join in with a submission where anything goes with the option of using something new. So my NEW includes some new papers for me from Sassafras called Sweetly Smitten and a new Spellbinders Label 18.

For my card I used Bazzill for the base, all matting is PTI and all background layers are machine stitched. I used LOTV Birthday Bumps...Gosh!! These five little bears are having so much fun, it makes me want to be a part of the frivolity!! All of the sweet animals in the New Release are just too, too cute, aren't they?!! I also used one of the darling sentiments from the Dreamy Days Set. The image was stamped on XPress It Blending Card colored with Copics, adding a bit of FlowerSoft to the grass. The floral treatment is all from Wild Orchid Crafts: 25mm Open Rose, 15mm Open Roses, and a few 5mm Closed Rosebuds. For the verticals I used matching PTI satin ribbon tied into double flat bows with one of the bows dangling a teddy bear charm.


For the first panel on the inside I made a rosette using the same ribbon and centered it with a pink Maya Road resin blossom. The jotting spot is a smaller SB Label 18 topped with a flat bow. I just had to let most of that lovely paper show!!!

I hope you like my little card and will decide to join all the fun over at Papertake Weekly Challenge where the sponsor this week is LOTV.
