Lili of the Valley Thursday Challenge - Spring

Why, when I'm off school for a fortnight, is it still a rush for me to get my challenge entries in on time?  I fancied having a go at this week's Lili of the Valley Challenge with its theme of Spring and then time started to run away with me, so I opted for a bit of a McCheat and used one of their lovely die cut images.  I undestand that LotV are going to introduce some more designs to their range shortly and I can already hear my debit card giggling away in my purse...



I gave the edges of the die cut image a good going over with the much used Timmy thingy and then sponged some Broken China distress ink over the top.  I added some Glamour Dust to the picture because I have to have some bling in there somewhere!  The Bazzill card base has been covered with Panduro Tilda paper from the Frosted Bluegreen pack; I then added more Bazzill followed by a square of blue paper from the K&Co Julianne set.  The seam binding and lovely lace were from Wild Orchid Crafts and I added a Dovecraft brad to the centre of the bow.  I put some WOC flowers at top of the image square and put a few blobs of Icicle Stickles on some of the petals.  The little white pearls are also from WOC.

I also decorated the inside of the card using the same Panduro Tilda paper. The "homemade" circle is from the same paper pack and the jotting spot is just a circle of watercolour card.

And that's it.  I've got a few more cards on the go as I'm trying to make the most of having some time to craft over the next few days.  If the weather improves I'll hopefully be able to get outside to tidy up in the garden, but I'll be just as happy if the rain keeps me indoors with my stash!

Hugs,
