White Choral Bells . . . Three-fer

While making these cards, I was reminded of a song I sang with the Girl Scouts.  It goes something like this:  "White choral bells upon a slender stalk.  Lilies of the Valley deck my garden walk." So I had to look it up.  Here is one version of it . . . a lot better sounding than the voices of a bunch of 10 year old girls :) 

Did you sing this or other songs as a scout? Bring back some, hopefully, good memories? 

I'm putting all these cards into the Twofer Card Challenge - 

I got the Lily stamp set from PTI many years ago for a friend's new granddaughter, named Lily. I made a card then, but I don't' have a photo of that.  

I stamped the Lily in black archival ink, and another in green archival ink, onto Vellum paper. I used color pencils on the back side to color the leaves and stems.  

I used this sketch from TGIF Challenge for 2 of the cards.  I cut frames from MFT (rectangle) and the oval is from Poppy Stamps. Then I glued the vellum flower panel to the frame.  And added thin cut double-sided foam tape to pop it up a bit. 

And I used this sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches for the blue card

Both sketches are very similar.  And I love the simplicity of both.  The biggest difference is the use of the lilies as a die cut and off-center for the CAS challenge.  I did flip the sketch.

I'm also putting this into The Flower Challenge - which is to use embossing: heat or dry.  I used a stylus to emboss each flower.  It is so cool how the vellum turns white when you emboss it.  No need for color pencils or ink. 

And this Sending Smiles card is going into the NBUS Challenge - the clearly besotted stencil and carabelle text stamp have never been used.

I'm putting the Hello Spring Card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, which is to use LAYERS.

Here is look at the inside of 2 of the cards.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them.  A few days of color and create therapy was much needed!!  
Thanks for stopping by.  Stay safe, and stay well.
