Petal Lu Challenge #25

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

It's Challenge time again at Petal Lu, as usual you could win the fantastic 30% discount from the Petal Lu Store.

Today I have used an image from La La Land called Snowflake Garland Marci

I used the following copics;

Hair: E49, E29, E25, E21

Dress: R59, RV34, R81, RV10, RV000

I do love the easel cards! I've added a few snowflake die cuts and glittered them, not sure how they will withstand the post since they are so delicate, but so very lovely all the same.

1 single Regal Rose Petal Lu flower, to the side of the image and decorative Christmas Papers.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Petal Lu Challenge #21

Summer is coming to a quick close now, my trio go back to school on Monday! A quiet house during the day with less washing. My biggest dread is the early morning alarm - uhh!

This fortnights challenge you could win 30% discount from the Petal Lu Store.

(picture shows, Daisies and Fuschia)

The image I have chosen to work with is a Saturated Canary one, called 'On the Edge', unfortunately you won't be able to get her for much longer, so if you like her, you must go visit her store quickly before it closes.

So, lets show you what I did!

A lovely shaped card using spellbinders large dies, memory box dies for the hearts, x-cut dollie die and la la land banner die. Sentiment is from Lily of the Valley and words from my alphabet dies.

I don't remember which colours I used to colour her up (that's really naughty of me!) I'll put myself on the naughty step as soon as I'm done ;)

I find that card stock from PaperMill Direct matches my Petal Lu flowers very well, so I generally stick with that cardstock.

The Petal Lu flowers used are Norland Blooms, Rose Red (original), Pretty in Pink (original) and a white Teddybear Bloom.
