Lili of the Valley March Challenge - Crafty Bingo.

The March challenge over at the Lili of the Valley blog is to play along with their Bingo card theme and make something incorporating three of the nine elements - as long as they are in a straight row! You can see what I mean here http://ideastoinspire.blogspot.co.uk/p/challenge.html . I went with a diagonal line from the bingo card and opted to use Ribbon, Lace and Charms. You can get a better view if you click on the photo below to enlarge it.

 

 

I started with a square kraft card blank and added a slightly smaller layer of textured red card. The vertical panel down the right side of the card is made from two different papers from the LOTV NitWit Country Lady paper pad. The main image, LOTV "Love Grows" (ST149), was stamped onto smooth white card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured with Copic markers. I cut out the image using a Spellbinders Labels one die and then layered it onto some beige patterned paper, which I had die cut using a Spellbinders Decorative Labels one die to match. This panel was then stuck to the card with foam pads for added dimension. The "With Love" sentiment is from the LOTV clear A5 stamp set 26 - Simply Sophisticated. I stamped it onto a scrap of the beige patterned paper using Potting Soil Archival ink and layered it onto a piece of brown paper from the LOTV NitWit Country Gent paper pad, cut a fish tail into the end and added to the card with foam pads.

I added a pretty length of fine cream lace to the left side of the card and topped it with some red seam binding ribbon and a double layered fancy bow. Two leaf shaped pins and a fancy silver heart charm finished everything off nicely.

I hope you like it!
