NEW RELEASE DAY at Lili of the Valley!!! SUPER SWEET STUFF, too!!!

Happy Late Monday/ Early Tuesday!!!! I hope you are all having a great week AND did I have to remind you that TODAY...right now...is the RELEASE DAY for all of those darling stamps at Lili of the Valley??? I bet not!!!! I don't know about you, BUT I am staying up so I can be sure to have these darlings because they are gonna fly right out the door like a whirlwind!!!!! Every one of them is precious!!!

I just had to give you one last little peek of this little cutie fast like before morning!!! I used Bazzill for the base and all matting, and the bright, cheerful DP is from the La-Di-Da Collection by Kaisercraft. I stamped that sweetie pie Dandelion Clock from the New Release at LOTV onto Cryogen White and colored her with Copics, adding Star Dust Stickles to the parachutes, German Glass Glitter to the seed head, Prisma Glitter to her wings, and placing her on double scalloped Nesties...isn't she a little darling??? The striped panel is bordered by a diecut from a MFT Die-namic which I don't see in stock at the moment. I used Purple Organza for the horizontal and added those gorgeous, sparkly Purple Rhinestones from Wild Orchid Crafts to soften the corners. The floral treatment is made with flowers from WOC: 15 mm Open Roses, 5 mm Closed Rosebuds, and Heather Stem Flowers, all resting on MS punched branches.

For the inside I used more of the same from the front of the card and merely added an open heart charm dangle on the first panel.

SWEET STUFF!!! And now to add to the excitement of NEW RELEASE DAY at LOTV, I would like to offer the following SWEET STUFF to my FOLLOWERS!!! I tried to make this special for all of my faithful followers so in order to be eligible I am asking that you:
