Favourite LOTV stamp

Hi Everyone. I was so pleased to make Nutcrafters top 3, last post, with my New Years card, so thank you to Nutcrafters for that! I was getting short of inspiration so did a little blog hopping yesterday and found this lovely sketch on Bev Rochesters blog. Bev has some great tutorials on her blog and absolutely beautiful creations,  and so, as I need help with  my colouring, 
watched her colouring tutorial. My colouring isn't great yet but I'm hoping it's improving with practice!!! I was pleased with the result of this card. I find sketches really help with inspiration when you're stuck for ideas. I didn't have any paper doilies when I looked through my stash and came across an old fiskars punch that I haven't used for ages. I think it makes a great doily, so I'll be using these old punches again! Sometimes things you think you won't ever use again come up trumps. My motto -never throw anything away, it might come in useful. Unfortunately thats why my house is such a mess, LOL!!!!!

I created this card using the following:

• My Minds Eye 'quite contrary' summer papers
• Mulberry paper roses, from Nutcrafters
• Lily of the valley stamp ' Little Ballerina' and sentiment stamp 'time to celebrate'
• Stamped with memento ink
• Coloured with promarkers
• Fiskars border punch
• Martha stewart border punch ' floral lace'
• Paper adhesive ribbon K + C company 'wild saffron'
• embellishments from stash
• Sketch by Bev Rochester, below
