This is the Best Part of my Day!

Good Wednesday crafty gals!  It's my turn to show off another Lilly Mae today!  These stamps are so fun and simple to color!  Luv them!  I've put this blue bird and blue apron color together with one of my favorite colors "Orange"!  At first, I thought perhaps I made an error in judgement but when I added the browns into the ribbon and floor with my copics, it came together very well!

The Lovely View die I designed for The Little Darlings Stamps Store added to the butterfly and pin from Angelica's Etsy Store and some Spellbinders Dies and Paper from Michele Roos made this project come together very well!

The Prima tile, Heidi Swapp heart colored with Distress Ink and the Shapeology Die Bird Cage from Whimsy Stamps!

Here she is, the Bird keeper Lilly Mae Image from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps close up and in all her glory!

I've colored up one of the NEW Lilly Mae images today to share with all of you!  Her name is Beach Comber!  She's got the sun in her eyes, the sea at her toes, the castle accomplished and just waiting for her Mate!  Isn't she darling?  It's a larger stamp image so I felt it was worthy of the whole card!  

I've used hot press water color paper and my water color pencils!  This is a one layer card with clipped edges and just a bit of vertical ribbon to offset that horizon!  The ingredients are below, try one of these, it's really rewarding!

INGREDIENTS: 

Beach Comber image from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps

Happy Monday craft lovers!  I hope all of my American friends had a fabulous and safe Independence Day?  I know we did, burgers, dogs and chips!  Yummy!   The twins were over and they went swimming and waved sparklers then we roasted marshmallows for S'mores and the best show of fireworks hubby's ever done!!!  All the Grandma's, Grandpa's and local loved ones together!  Great fun!

Today I'm going to share one of my favorite NEW Lilly Mae illustrations that is now on sale in here in the store where you can save 25% until tomorrow!!  The design paper is Authentique and full of little dusty brown birds on tree limbs and a beautiful color coordinated wood grain.  

The image was colored with my copics and cut with Spellbinders dies.  I've loaded the right side with blossom die cuts from the Darling Squares set of dies and the left with bits and bobs from my stash.  There's even a little cherry charm and a beautiful red and white stick pin too that match the beautiful butterflies from Angelica's Etsy Shop!  

This project is loaded with extras that work together to create a summer scene that brings back wonderful old memories of when we were young!
