Happy Birthday LOTV!

Hello! How are things!

I am here today not with a DT make but with a card I made to celebrate LOTV’s 10th birthday in May.  It also doubles as a thank you card as, can you believe it, in the last two LOTV blog hops my name has been randomly picked to win some of their amazing stamps? I know!! Today I discovered I had won some of their gorgeous fairies and then last month I was the uber lucky recipient of all 7 of the new Annabel stamps! No way! Yes way!

So after I had stopped jumping up and down screeching unattractively when they arrived what did I do?  Well, being me I had to make life difficult for myself didn’t I and I decided that I wanted to make a card using all 7 Annabels! Yes all 7!! So that’s what I did.  You gotta love me, I‘m a trier!! :D   

What's the collective noun for a group of Annabels? Maybe it's a giggle! A giggle of Annabels! 
The card size started out as a whole A3 sheet of Centura Pearl folded in half but I managed to trim it down a little as I got the images to fit! Just!

She's an energetic little thing! Makes me exhausted just looking at her!
I made the ‘zero’ from a combination of Spellbinders and Tonic dies and the number ‘1’ is a hopeless hand drawing all be it with a ruler!

Ah, I can do this........


…….but probably not this! J

 Ingredients:
Stamps: All 7 of the Annabel Series 
Dies/Punches:  Spellbinders ‘Grand Scalloped Circles’ – Tonic scalloped ovals
Paper/Card: Centura pearl base – American Crafts - LOTV ‘Bear Necessities’ 
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils – Vintage Photo & Stormy Sky DI
Others: Clear acrylic stones from stash
Hopeless Hand drawings: Just some faux stitching and a dodgy looking 1!

So there you go.  Lots of little Annabels all in one place! Bless ‘em!

Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx

    Wow Jane! This card is amazing! They are going to love it! I think is unlikely for you to be the lucky winner again but they are most likely to choose your card in their top 5. Congratulations on your prizes.
