A parasol full of roses

A while ago I bought a LOTV Art Pad at the NEC. Subsequently I also bought, online, some LOTV papers and was 'pickled tink' when I realised how well they go with a lot of the images in the Art Pad:
 
I used:

- 5" x 5" square white card blank

- an image from a pre-coloured LOTV Art Pad called 'Cute Cottage Garden'

- backing paper by LOTV from the 'Country Lady' paper pad

- plain card stock by SU, called 'Primrose Petals'

- sentiment by LOTV as well, from their 'Small Greetings' set (which is always so useful), stamped onto the image after it was die cut - using VersaMagic 'Pink Petunia'

I'm entering this card into the current LOTV challenge for January, which is 'Anything Goes'.

I always try to enclose a little hand made card with Playground prizes, sometimes I don't succeed though, sigh. But this will be winging its way to a recent winner ASAP! Just let me get my snorkel and flippers on and I'll be off to the Post Office - sploosh.

    Perfect matching up Di. Lovely die cut shape too.

    Don't forget your wetsuit to go with the snorkel and flippers!

    I love it when things unexpectedly go together like apples and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, vodka and tonic... you get the picture. That's a very pretty delicate card.

    This is such a pretty card, I love the LOTV images. I have a couple of their stamps and the same paper pad that you used here.I bought it at the NEC too, and when I told the man it was hard to chose he "helpfully?" told me there are more to choose from on the website!!!

    Oh Di.. what an amazing card... reminds me so of one my aunt gave me when I was eight years old... I still have it and still love it.. and yes, love roses too, (who wouldn't) and pink and parasols so there you are.. very clever use of the image well done..


    Oh, and sorry about the need of galoshes, etc.. sending sunshine-y weather of gentle summer days over your way.. yes blessed beyond measure this week. Was bit hot last week! Shaz in Oz.x
