Lili of The Valley

Hi Everybody,

These are some cards I made way back in 2011 and long before I discovered Spectrum Noir so no color list for this one.

But the Wild Orchid Crafts  flowers can be see in great abundance even then... as is the few Spellbinders that I had back then

The round  sentiment and the images are all  from
  Lili of the Valley
Making this style of card was covered in a video tutorial that I did at that time.

I am adding the link here for you to the actual  website page   Making a Card ... Inside and Out

I have moved on  lot from this these days but I still do a dry run with the elements before I glue anything in place.







The cards are all 15 cm squares and I also did another tutorial to follow this on making the boxes to go with this sized card.

It all seems so long ago when I watch these tutorials, but they are as useful now as they ever have been.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

    Christina, thank you for the tutorial. You have moved on a great deal since then but the basics are the same. Enjoyed watching a simpler card which is great for children and in my case, grandchildren. Enjoy your site immensely and look forward to seeing it each day. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to each and every day.

    Thanks for sharing some of your earlier cards with us Christina. Beautiful cards. I too enjoy coming here every day to see what delights you are sharing with us. Just wondering if you have ever used copics for colouring and why do you prefer Spectrum Noir. Have a wonderful day. Sue

    Hi Christina,
    I love to look back at the cards I and others have made. We get so caught up in the newest trends it is ready to forget the older ideas which are just as beautiful
    Love Linda
