Lili of the Valley Design Collective !

Good Morning!

I think a few of you will be glad to see that there is a little relief from the Christmas themed creations today, I wanted to make something that wasn't Christmassy for a change! lol

Today's card is my first one of the month for the LOTV DESIGN COLLECTIVE .
Incase you don't already know I am part of a group of ladies that create cards for Lili of the Valley each month.

Along with making something that isn't for Christmas I have also used an image from one of their Art Pads, they're great if you don't have time to colour but want to make a card!
I purposely left this card without a sentiment so that it would versatile for many occasions such as Thinking of You, Get Well Soon or something more personal.
