Fairy Gifts from Lili of the Valley!

Good Morning!

Lili of the Valley have released some new designs this week celebrating fairies! Today's card actually took me 2 days to make as I had to fit it around work but I've finally had the chance to share it with you today. 

I have also used some of the old LOTV Papers that I dug out of my stash, so I'm celebrating everything LOTV today! I have also added some stickles to the fairy wings but unfortunately the photo hasn't picked up on the sparkle ...

This design is called 'Fairy Gifts' and you can head straight to it over on the etsy shop by clicking HERE.

Take it Easy on Father's Day!

Good Morning!

We're celebrating Father's Day in the UK today so I thought I'd share the card that I made for my Father today. I've used an older design that I can't actually remember when I actually last inked up, oops! This design is called 'Take it Easy' and can be found over on the LOTV etsy shop HERE.

I decided to colour the pooch featured in dark greys instead of the Jack Russel colourings as my parents have a black miniature wire - haired Daschund.
