Lili of the Valley #8

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm going to try to keep a steady flow of cards posted until next Wednesday. The closer it gets to the holiday, the more hectic life becomes around here! Looking on the bright side of things, no matter how hectic things get around here, I'm going to squeeze in some "play time" and create a card or two.

I made this card for Lili of the Valley's Challenge #8. The challenge for this week was to make a card base off the sketch provided by Donalda. After gathering some inspiration from the samples provided by Lili of the Valley's DT, ideas started spinning around in my head and this is what I came up with.

The stamps are from Lili of the Valley, A Muse (the shadow shaped oval) and the sentiment is from Close To My Heart. The card stocks are SU's Pink Pirouette,Papertrey Inks Stampers Select White and the Cut Cardstock Company. I decided to use this awesome paper from Glitz Designs...I really love this paper:) I used my small circle Nestabilities die for a uniform circle shape and trimmed the outer edges so that the circles would not over lap the card. After that I used my Cuttlebug and embossed the circles for texture and for more dimension, I spritzed black ink on the circles. with my Spritzer tool from SU. I stamped my image and used my thing-a-ma-jig to line up the shadow oval stamp from A Muse. I have had this stamp over a year and somehow I managed to overlook this precious stamp.... shame on me! After I was satisfied with the ovals position, I colored my image with my Copic Markers and embellished the image with extra fine glitter. I also embellished my card with felt flowers from Maya Road and embellished the flower center with small black brads.

Have a wonderful day and thank you all for stopping by:)
