Foamiran Lilies

Afternoon, looks like we're going to have some sunshine here for the bank holiday, although I won't see much of it, I'll be crafting (I've a few orders to catch up on).  The card I'm sharing today was made last week and I intended to send it to the winner of my craft giveaway to thank them for following my blog.  Hayley Green was the name picked out of the hat but unfortunately Hayley still hasn't been in contact, so I'll give her a few more days and if she hasn't contacted me by Wednesday I'll draw another name.



The background paper I have used was a free download, unfortunately I can't remember where from as I have had it on my laptop for a few years, but at the end of the post I'll list some of my favourite blogs for lovely papers.  Feel free to take a copy of the one below.


I have made the lilies out of white foamiran and coloured them with oil pastels and pro markers.  The white frame and eastern trellis were cut using my silhouette cameo and I printed the 'with thanks' on my laptop and cut the banner freehand.



For the papers I've used a scissors to lightly distress the edges and then used tumbled glass and spun sugar distress inks.  I've used the same paper inside the card and then add a die cut shape to add a message.

Thanks so much for looking and any comments you may leave.  These are lovely blogs I follow that offer lots of beautiful free  downloads.

Hi I have received my giveaway today and my response is WOW WOW WOW! The postie delivered a large padded envelope which was bursting at the seams with goodies. I was expecting to receive the lovely card that had been made but not the other items. I just couldn't believe how much other stuff had been included. This is is a list of some of the items :-
Crafters Companion envelope scorer, fine glitter, several stampers, large bag of hot glue sticks, several embossing folders, several die cutters, lots of toppers to be assembled, ready made toppers and loads of lovely A4 size craft paper and card stock! What a fantastic selection of items which are all very much appreciated. Thank you so much and it's a pleasure to follow your blog which is great. It's interesting and helpful and really inspiring. Keep on blogging! Xx
