House of Gilli ~ Pastels and Bling

Welcome Spring!  Spring is my favorite time of year, and we've been having some glorious weather recently here in Pennsylvania.  This week I've made a Romantic Gilli card to welcome in the season; Gilli stamps are available here.  For this week's challenge at House of Gilli your project must include pastel colors and bling.  Here's my Romantic Gilli:


I gave Gilli's dress a coating of Star Dust Stickles available from Stamping Scrapping.  Gilli was colored with Copics and I added some decorative pearls to the card, as well as seed beads for Gilli's necklace. 


  Thanks so much for stopping by and please join in our challenge at House of Gilli!!!

    Hi Ann,
    Every one of your cards is more wonderful and the one before! I love your fabulous coloring and am so happy you are crafting.

    And Yes, Patty's Birthday is Saturday and it's the Patty that you met, so I'll be sure to tell her you said hi. I sure WISH she would start crafting again as I miss having someone here local to craft with! Thankfully, I have a world of you wonderful online friends!!

    Love this new Gilli card and think the Sparkle is fabulous!!

    Happy Crafting and have a nice week.

    Hugs,
    Lis
