I am back with a second post today. My first post was scheduled to go live just a couple of hours ago, you can see it here or simply scroll down.
Today is the start of a new Allsorts challenge. Our host is Gail who selected the theme of Romance and/or Music, along with the option of Anything Goes. Our prizes for this challenge are a wonderful selection of stamps and stencils from AALL and Create.
Right around Christmas
Lily of the Valley Stamps
(LOTV) had a sale I couldn't resist, where you purchased the newly released
set of digis and then receive ALL of their previously released digital stamps.
I had an old wishlist with several of their stamps on it, I hadn't purchased them because I sort of quit using digis for the most parts, but I could not resist this sale. So
today's card features the first digi I decided to color up from this sale and I thought it
was the perfect choice for the theme. Birds and music go hand in hand
along with romance, don't you think?

I used Copic markers for coloring and then I used Lavinia's Feather Leaf stencil around the image with Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I
found the little die cut heart in my box of extra die cuts but I can't remember which
die set it came from. Probably something from Penny Black as most of my dies are by PB. The sentiment was computer generated. I have this same
quote as a stamp but it didn't work for this layout as it's a larger stamp and
I wanted it to be just one line. The music notes are from a retired Hero Arts
stamp kit. I used a corner rounder punch at the bottom for some interest and added
stickles glitter to the flowers and hearts for some sparkle. And I used some
coordinating twine to finish off the card.

I'd been wondering the make of the stamp Ellie, it's so delicate with the heart and little birdies and adding thew music notes draws in the theme elements perfectly.
