Today is sneak peak day 1 of the new Lily at the Beach set. This new stamp set will be available at the Pink Cat Studio store this Thursday, 23 April. Today I am sharing with you two images from this summer fun set. My first card is for A Spoon Full of Sugar and today we have the below fabulous sketch from our designer Caryn. Thank you Caryn and it was a fun sketch to work with!
We have a great prize this week of the below cute Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from Stampavie called 'Hoppy Spring'. This has been kindly donated by Colette and Katie at Nutcrafters.
The papers on my card are MME and part of the Magnolia collection. The flowers were sent to me from my friend Heidi, the ribbon free from a magazine and the buttons in my stash. I added a mini prima flower and gem to Lily's hat.
My second project today is a little purse I made using a fantastic tutorial over at Anita's blog. If you haven't visited Anita's blog before it is a must especially if you are a Hanglar fan! This was so fun and easy to make and the main die shape is a Big Shot top note die.

Again I have used the MME Magnolia papers for my purse. All images coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps for blending.I can't wait to see what my talented team members have created for this release. Here are the links to their blogs so you can see too :-)
