Lili of the Valley - Twinkling Star

            Good Morning!

Yes I'm still enjoying my gold theme but as you can see it's been jazzed up with some red on today's card lol. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Twinkling Star' and I've also used the shabby embossing powder again too on the main image.
The sentiment I've used is actually from the bottom edge border strip that goes along the bottom of 12x12 sheets, the sentiment was repeated 4 times and the perfect size to be cut up and used on cards!


INGREDIENTS -
LOTV 'Twinking Star' Stamp

You might spot as well on the cards that I've used the colour Gold on that I've also used a different embossing powder for the snow effect, the shabby white one which I've used today also has speckles of gold embossing powder and glitter in it too.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Angels with Crib

          Good Morning!

I haven't made as many Christmas cards as I'd of hoped by now so yesterday afternoon I had a bit of a card-making frenzy, something that hasn't happened in years and I must say I really enjoyed it!
One that I'd managed to make a couple of days earlier is today's card and it is using one of the older designs by
 LOTV called 'Angels with Crib'. For me the colour scheme just had to be Gold, there's just something about Gold cards too that seme to make them feel extra special at Christmas!

INGREDIENTS -
LOTV 'Angels with Crib' Stamp & LOTV Sentiment

Shabby White Frantage Embossing Powder
Clear Dew Drops & Papermania Shimmer Dome Stickers
