James - Umbrella.

Hello, crafty blogger's.

I'm back again today with another card. 

My card features James - Umbrella from Lili Of The Valley. 
They sell the cutest stamps along with gorgeous papers and sentiments

I have a small collection of stamps just sitting in my craft room waiting to be coloured so I have made a promise to myself to colour at least one a month and enter their super challenges.

Lili Of the Valley have a March challenge going on at the moment and it is Crafty Bingo.

Here is the chart.

I have chosen a diagonal line.

Doily, Lace and Flowers.

I have die cut a Spellbinders floral oval with Neenah cardstock and stamped James - Umbrella with Memento rich cocoa ink onto it.

I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils.

I inked around the edges of the floral oval with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink and surrounded the image with Frantage shabby white embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts. 

For the shaped card I have used 300gsm white Conqueror card and GoKreate large frames frilly #2 from Cuttingedgecrafts. 

The pretty papers are Nitwit Collections Country Lady from Lili Of The Valley. 

I inked around the papers with tea dye distress ink.

The white doily and pretty lace are from Ebay. You can find the lace HERE. 

I have placed some cheese cloth onto the centre of the card and adhered the image on top with sticky pads.

I die cut Memory Box Pippi butterflies with white Conqueror card and Frantaged them with shabby white embossing enamel. I inked the centres of the butterflies with tea dye distress ink and placed 3 3mm tan pearls along each of them.

The Birthday sentiment is one of the every day grungy messages from Lili Of The Valley. 

I have inked around the sentiment with tea dye distress ink.

Here is a photo I have taken with the tag removed.

The filigree corner on the card is La-La-Land and I have inked the edges with tea dye distress ink.

The tag is Magnolia Doohickey bloomy tag. I have stamped the small general sentiment from 

Lili Of The Valley with Memento rich cocoa ink and Frantaged each corner with shabby white embossing enamel. I have attached a butterfly charm from my stash onto a length of white shabby seam binding from Live & Love Crafts and tied it into a bow.

For the flower arrangement I have used Daisies, tulips and lilies from The Ribbon Girl.

I frantaged the daisies with shabby white embossing enamel.

The 15mm mixed brown tone roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the marshmallow frosted berries are from Live & Love crafts. 

For the foliage I have die cut Cheery Lynn pine branches and Martha Stewart woodland branches. I inked the edges with tea dye distress ink.

Here is a close up of James - Umbrella.

I could squeeze him! Lol!!!

I have added ArtDeco glamour dust to the puddle and rain drops.

I used a Woodware small butterfly punch and Country Lady paper to punch the butterflies.

I inked the edges of the butterflies with tea dye distress ink and used Ranger white liquid pearls along their centres.

Inside the card is decorated with Country Lady paper and a Spellbinders floral oval.

I hope you like my card?
