Little Magician

When I saw the 'sneek peeks' for the new Lili of the Valley 'The Boys Are Back in Town' release I just fell in love with the stamp I have used in this card which is called 'Abracadabra'. Of course I could not buy just one stamp from the new stamps but I will be using the others later on for other projects. I have not made this card for any special reason, I just wanted to use the stamp because I liked it so much. Once I had coloured the image and cut it out I was racking my brain about what paper I could use when I remembered the DCWV Once Upon a Time paper stack. The piece I used on the front of the card came from the 8x8 stack and I cut the bottle pattern out so that I could Decoupage it over the top of the image. I used the same design inside the card but from the 12x12 stack.

So here is what I used for this card. I started with a 148 x 148cm square card blank. The backing paper is as I have said from Die Cut With a View 'Once Upon a Time' stack. The image is Lili of the Valley 'Abracadabra' and it is coloured with Promarkers. I have clouded the edges of the image with 'Milled Lavender' Distress ink and then mounted it on purple miricard. The ribbon is from my stash.

Lili of the Valley Challenge 79

I have made this card with the Lili of the Valley Challenge in mind. The image is from their unmounted rubber stamps and is called 'By the River'. Of course it is coloured with promarkers and I used antique linen Distress Ink to soften the edges. The papers are all from the DCWV Linen Closet stack with the exception of the blue bazzill. I found the little jewel wasp amoung my stash and thought it the ideal embelishment for this card. I was quite pleased with the way this card turned out, now I will just keep my fingers crossed that the lovely peiple at LOTV think so too.
