Pickwick Papercrafting

After succeeding in my quest to not spend a penny on craft goodies in February, I thought I deserved to reward myself with a few treats! I just had to pay a visit to the Lili of the Valley site and a few new stamps just happened to fall into my shopping basket!

I've fallen in love with the Lili of the Valley rubber stamps and treated myself to a few last month, just before imposing a ban on myself buying any craft goodies in February! Not sure how long it will last but I'm going to do my best - after all looking at all my stash, it's not as if I will run out of anything!! These are my first attempts using the "Rosie with Present" stamps:- Ingredients Lili of the Valley stamp "Rosie with Presents" coloured with Promarkers Rangers Ice Stickles (used for Rosie's skirt) DCWV Nana's Nursery - Baby Boy Papers Card stock from stash Marianne Creatables flourish & flower die cuts Craftwork Cards Candy for the flower centres Craftwork Cards Sentiment Martha Stewart punch Flower peels offs coloured with Promarkers (first card)

For July's Friendship card for emmaharveyxxx, I used a layout taken from Papercraft Essentials, I don't remember which edition but it was from a "Cut out and keep!" pullout section. I actually used the DCWV Nana's Nursery papers as per the magazine although I didn't use the exact ones that were used in the magazine. I coloured Tilda with Tulips with my Copic Caio pens and decoupaged the tulip and mounted the image onto matching cardstock.
