Lili of the Valley Guest Designer for May - Dainty Dancing

Hello Everyone! I hinted at some exciting news in my post yesterday and I can finally share it with you! I am the Guest Designer this month on the Lili of the Valley blog! I love Lili of the Valley stamps and have a huge collection of them. I can't resist their cute characters and they are so much fun to colour in so I was thrilled to be able to have the chance to share some of my cards on the Lili of the Valley blog.

 I have used the lovely 'Dainty Dancing' on my first card and teamed her with some lovely My Mind's Eye papers from the Nostalgia collection. I chose muted pinks which are some of my favourites at the moment and I have a few new clothes and accessories in this colour pallette.
I used various dies to cut the papers for my layout and added some stitching around the edges of all the layers. I also added some gorgeous old rose organza ribbon from the Ribbon Girl and layered some beautiful lace from my stash over the top.  The sentiment is also from Lili of the Valley from the Greeting postmarks set.


Here is a close up of my image which I coloured with Promarkers before cutting her out and adding her to the card with foam pads. I finished my card with an arrangement of flowers from various places and some stick on pearls and gems. I hope you have a lovely Friday and Bank holiday weekend if you are in the UK!
