LOTV Challenge


Ahhhh yes! Time for a fun new challenge at the LOTV Challenge Blog!!!! Whooo Hoo! This time the theme is Red, Green and White and an optional theme of Christmas!!! Just in time for everyone getting their recent orders!

I have been waiting to use this gorgeous stamp for soooo long. It is called "Little Festive Robins".  I thought the sentiment was perfect for the image since it is their little birdie home! haha! I am entering this card into the Papertake Weekly Challenge where the theme is "Things With Wings".

I colored this one with Prisma Pencils and used the Sparkly Technique to glam it up.  You can find a quick tutorial on this technique that I did HERE.  

The papers are from the amazing Nitwits Collection and are called Simple Joys.  I can't seem to get enough of these paper right now.  They are all so perfect for the sweet LOTV stamps!!!!!

The Guipure Lace, Flat backed pearls, and poinsettia are all fromWild Orchid Crafts.  Be sure to check in with them now and then because right now I saw today an amazing sale on some Ivory Roses!!! I love to use ivory and think it is a really great deal.  Also, they have these wonderful new brads that are a must have.

Please check out all of the design team's work.  They are some very talented ladies! I also hope you will join in on our challenge.  I can't wait to see what you guys do with this theme!

Thank you for stopping by to visit me! It makes my day when you do!

Hugs to all,

Dena

    Oh hun, this is totally fab - I saw it over on the challenge and it really popped out - I found this image a fiddle to colour up but you have worked your magic and it is STUNNING. Love how you have reversed the robin colours and the sparkle finish is brilliant. Can you tell that I love it?! Hugs Sxx

    Love this card and that stamp so much hun, the colours remind me of candy canes and spearmint rock from the seaside, if i were you and you loved that stamp as much as i do, after Christmas i wouldn't ink up the stockings and colour the birds different, like blue with a tinge of yellow to make them blue tits and Ivy is around all year, use the stamp all year round, just incorporate different colours and papers and it'll work, but i'm guessing you've probably already thought of that too, sorry, LOL xxx Vick

    A great card with the outdoors Christmas theme. The birds' colours you chose work perfectly with the rest of the card and the choice of papers from this Collection were just right!
