Hugs and Kisses

Hi there!  I know what you are thinking - "here she is again"!  Sorry, but I finished up another card I was working on and I wanted to come by and share it.  It is for a couple of challenges: Lili's Little Fairies Challenge (diamonds and pearls), Simon Says Stamp Challenge (Dawny's sketch) and another for Challenge #1 on the Oozak blog (anything goes).

Here is the SSS Sketch:


And here is my card:


I started with a card base of SU Pool Party and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Dowdy 6x6 pad.  I can't stop using these beautiful papers!  My adorable Lili of the Valley stamp is Summer Perfect Present.  You can find it in the LOTV on-line shop here.  I was lucky enough to have received a gift voucher for the LOTV store when I won a recent challenge they sponsored.  I stamped her on Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I added some tiny pearls to the bows and the flower centers.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A peach-colored "diamond" flourish, some pearls and a double loop satin bow finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I always appreciate it when you do!  I promise that's it for me for today as I will be out this evening!

Have a wonderful weekend!
