Sneaky Peak - Christmas at LOTV

 Hi There
Today to share is a little sneaky peak from the new Christmas Collection from LOTV 
Ive used Christmas Prayer and I just LOVE her.
These will be available from the 25th July  and I can tell you your just going to adore them all.
Keep a look out at the rest of the girls blogs this week as there will be more sneaky peaks.
 
 I have painted her in Sepia (Walnut Stain Distress Reinker) and added a little crackle glaze to  give a little dimension.
I think this picture has picked the effect up quite well.
 How ironic making a Christmas card when its so hot outside! hee hee, but its always great to get my Christmas dies out :D
 
Dies used are Sizzix Snowflakes
Magnolia DooHickeyTags, Coffee Box Lace and Fern.
 
I don't have any LOTV Christmas Sentiments yet( I feel a visit coming on ;D) so I used the 'WISH' from the Sentiment Tags set and the Music is from the Background Bits - Notes set
 
Papers are Magnolia and the corners I made with Airdry Clay
Ribbon and Lace from the Ribbon Girls
 
That's it for today...Ive got work today :/
 
Thankyou for taking your time to visit me and for your lovely comments

We have a very special challenge this week over at MDUC for our very own Camilla.

So as soon as I saw this new Edwin from the Sea Breeze Collection I knew he would fit perfectly in the bath.



I painted him with Distress Reinkers

Dies are Doo-Hickey flags and Tildas tag
Also from the Ribbon Girls  I used 100mm Camilla Ivory Flat Lace, Vintage Blue Fluted Edge Sheer Ribbon, Cheesecloth and Astrid Cream Tulip Lace
