My card today is for my other nephew who will be 12 next week. I have used the By the River stamp by Lili of the Valley - and yes I used to play by the river when I was little - well they were rhynes (pronounced reens) if you are from Somerset you will know what I mean. I used to collect frog spawn and look at the newts too and I was probably only 6 or 7. I'm not sure I would be happy for my 6 year old to play in the same area although she can swim (I couldn't at that age) - did my parents know where I was - who knows!!!!
The image was coloured with water colour crayons and cut out with my nestabilities Large and small labels. The background is made from the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder on centura pearl card distressed with China blue Distress ink. The papers were from a freebie set I received on a Magazine so long ago I can't remember which one. The buttons were from a Polka Doodles CD called Candy Doodles with some orange ribbon in the middle. The dragonfly is from a set of gems by Anita which I have had for at least 6 years. Oh and the sentiments are from Lili of the Valley too the Boy Oh Boy set.

Gorgeous card Ali, loving your beautifully coloured sweet image and colour combo. I remember only too well collecting frog spawn as a child then my mother would go nuts when all the wee frogs started to jump around the garden.
Thank you for joining us at Lili of the Valley.
