Double Posting for me....

Good morning everyone today is Lili of The Valley Blog Hop day so first up is the blog hop card...



Welcome to the Lili of the Valley Designers Mini Hop!!  By popular demand we have reverted to the original way of doing the hop - we are all going to use the same stamp again as we did with the first hop so you'll get various  different ideas on using the same stamp.  And today we are showcasing "Walk the plank" from the latest release from Lili of the Valley. 

This month we are sponsored by The Ribbon Girl and Lili of the Valley, each have supplied two prizes, and as there are only five DT members taking part this month all five blogs will have a prize up for grabs!! 


Here is my blog hop card featuring Walk the Plank....


I love this little guy, he has been coloured with markers and a touch of white pen the papers are MME On the sunny side (thank you sweetie) I have distressed all the edges with chalk inks, I have used lots of layers and added some die cut stars that I popped through the ribbler, I have added a sentiment from the For Him set and a Grunge Ticket and added the word unique using the Words for Tickets, I have added some glossy accents to the water in the bowl...


All you have to do to join in the fun is leave a comment on the DT's blogs and we will draw a winner on Friday 19th May and announce the winners on our blogs, so do check back then to see if you are a winner. 

The DT taking part in this mini hop are: 

Fleur 
Pops thats me!
Anne 
Dena 
Bev

*****************************************************

There is a wonderful sketch to follow this month over at Crafting Life's Pieces Challenge, here is the sketch...


Here is my card following the sketch....


I have used Cammy in the Wind isn't she sweet she is available in digital form now too HERE, I have coloured her with markers and added a touch of white pen, I have used the very last of my Lost and found papers, I have added some die cut corners with a Flat Pearl on, some Butterflies, I have added a strip of Natural Lace and some Seam Binding with a little button on the bow, the I have added a Tag and stamped the word so sweet from the Words for Tags set, my flowers are Tea Rose, Cherry Blossoms, 15mm, 10mm Roses and yes you guessed it lots of Stardust for lots of sparkle....


I do hope that you can join in with the sketch challenge, thank you so very much fir looking today and any comments that you leave for me, biggest of hugs love Pops x x x x

Two awesome cards here as always.
