What we been up to and Lilly and Flowers

Our beautiful baby Sooty missed us when we were away at the weekend but I have to say sorry for misleading you all - we weren't in Norfolk but in Suffolk. Just sitting directly on the border apparently!  We stayed in a lovely wee village pub in a place near Lopham and Redgrave Fens.  We spent two days walking on them chasing the wildlife and enjoying the tranquility of the place.  I got this fab pic of a robin just at the start of our second very long walk and wanted to share it with you all.

We also came across these stunning ponies that live wild on the fens - there were warning signs up saying not to approach them but they approached us thru a fence I have to say tho they did let me stroke them for a while.

Onto my card for today now.....this is for Lynne's friends wee girl Lily Mai.  She is a gorgeous wee angel!  Using a digi stamp I won drom Digistamp Boutique last year (Lilly and Flowers), I coloured her with my good old PMs (colours below), used a Nellie Snellen Oval Die and then cut around the outer shape of the die to create the darker layer.  I used DPs I got from the fab Coops (thanks again) so dunno where they are from but they are stunning - such bright colours too!  The bunting is from a freebie stamp set I got a couple of months ago - are they called Molly Bloom or similar?)  Silly moo me thru the packaging out - how daft am I?  I paper pieced some of them so they stand out more.

Hippy Chick from Simply Sassy

I have been AWOL again my friends - this neck of mine is awful just now and oing anything at all aggravates it but I have managed to make this card over the last couple of days ~

I just adore these fabulously cute stamps from Funbky Kits don't you?

I stamped her onto Rymans Smooth card and put her thru my Bigshot with a Nellie Snellen Oval Die (poor thing I heard her squealing), then coloured her with my Promarkers.  Using the current sketch from Sketch Saturday I used papers with red gingham and pink dots from Pink Petticoat and distressed all the edges with my scissors (can't get on with my distressing too at all).  The sentiment is computer generated and once again put thru my BS with a Nellie Snellen square Dies (which has some lovely shapes on it).
