LILI OF THE VALLEY ON THE GARDEN WALL!

PS: UPDATE - 21st October - The two little cuties above have been awarded a "Top 3" badge from
Lili who lives in the Valley! Thank you so much!
Hi lovely bloggers! Hope you are all well, and getting used to wearing six layers of clothing again (or is it just me who's cold)!
I'm just in time to enter this week's Challenge at
LOTV!  - the theme is a fabulous sketch by Bev.
******
I will keep this post (fairly) short and sweet, as it's almost bedtime, which is a bit of a worry as I started making this card at 9.00am this morning and have only just finished it.
The image is LOTV - "On the Garden Wall"
Base card: Core-Dinations.
Papers: Basic Grey, MME, K&Co Brianna.
Sentiment stamp: Penny Black.
Border Punch: MS.
Flower Punches: EK Success Retro.
Leaf Punch: SU Two-Step Bird & Branch. 
Glamour Dust here and there.
Colouring: Mainly Copics, with DI around the edges (Antique Linen and Vintage Photo).
Machine stitching: wonky as usual.
Edges of papers distressed with scissors.
~ Love to everyone who visits ~

Hi SYlvia

Yes, it sure is cold all of a sudden, I really didn't want to get up this morning.

A lovely card, the stitching is just perfect, I gave up on stitching when Daisy (new puppy) decided my machine look good for a chew. I imagine it's reparable, but just not got round to checking it out.
