Lili of the Valley - Under the Weather

Lili of the Valley - Under the Weather 

Yesterday was a complete wash out here so what better to go home and colour in that Lili of the Valley James with his big umbrella!! 

I wanted to make him into a Get Well Card with the sentiment "Under the Weather" so I die cut him out with a nesting die. Found some paper in the stash - the one i chose was a bit dark so I added a light blue cloud paper across the middle to brighten it a bit. Then I added a sun and clouds using Whimsy Stamps die.

In the words of my husband - "you like those colour in thingys these days don't you" - That would be a digi stamp dear. Yes, he is right I do like my digi stamps at the moment - and one of my favourite suppliers is Lili of the valley. 

One of my recent makes is a birthday card for my manager. She likes her gardening so I chose the little mouse that comes with the Happy birthday pots stamp.

I have just discovered the joy that is Digi Stamps. I will be honest when I first read about them I thought you might as well just print an image from google! 

It started when I was looking for a stamp/ die or anything for a twin baby card and a lovely lady on Facebook sent me two Lili of the Valley Digi stamps for twins and I loved them.

Then one of my magazines had a free Paper Nest Dolls digi stamp so I thought I would give that a try and loved it. I hadn't actually got any-one to send this Easter Card to but felt the need to make it anyway! There's also Paper Nest Dolls monthly competitions which I will never win as there is some incredible cards out there but its always worth an entry!

I had recently invested in Copic markers and they give a great colour but there's a good technique to learn! I came across Kit and Clowder who has great online courses for colouring with copics and other markers. So you know what I am going to be spending any spare time doing!!!
