Silent Night Angel

Good Morning!

I finally had the chance to ink up one of my new stamps yesterday morning, trying to find the time to sit and colour the past fortnight has been a little sparce! 

This super sweet stamp is from Lili of the Valley, along with my DT Goodies that I received over the recent weeks I couldn't help purchasing some of the stamp sets, this stamp is from one of them!

Fairy Birthday Wishes

Good Morning!

Today's card has a Birthday theme and I've just used the one design paper which is pretty minimal for me! The image is another from an LOTV Art Sheet as I am trying to promote just how lovely they are, they're also fab for cards when you don't really have the time to colour.

I also have even more news about Lili of the Valley to share with you all today, they have just released a selection of Digi's over on their Etsy store!

You may remember that they had to withdraw Digi's from the main website a little while ago but they have now found a way to sell some of them again over on Etsy. 

So if you'd like a peek simply click their logo below ...

A Unicorn Christmas with Lili of the Valley

Good Morning!

I have a Christmas card with a difference for you all today, I have used a brand new Art Sheet image by Lili of the Valley that isn't actually a dedicated Christmas sheet. However seeing as there seems to be a trend with Unicorns as Christmas decorations this year I thought ... well why not!

The image is from the Art Sheet 'Enchanted Unicorns' and the papers are also new from Lili of the Valley.

On the subject of LOTV I would also like to mention that they have just released some brand new A6 Stamp Sets featuring some of the older designs that we all know and love! So if you missed the chance to buy them the first time they were around now is your chance!
