Since we decided to have a new challenge every week at Lili of the Valley's Challenge Blog, we decided to go for a theme and a sketch every other week :)
And for this Challenge #60, we have come up with a great theme for you: All 4 Seasons!!!
Since LOTV has a huge range of image stamps, it shouldn't be to difficult to find stamps to suite all 4 of the year's seasons, should it?
Lili of the Valley is soon going to releese a new collection of Christmas stamps:
LOTV Christmas Animals!!! And today some of the DT's will show you sneekpeeks from the new collection - so don't forget to visit all of the other talented little fairies to get some peeks of the new cuties :)
Do also visit the LOTV's Ideas to Inspire Blog to get some peeks during the next days!

I have to admit, I've not exactly been a fan of animal stamps before, but when I saw the new James the Bear Christmas images, I fell in looove :) And even more, after they made my promarker colouring "finally" work :)
I've always sworn to my Distress Inks when it comes to colouring, but when I was in Leksand earlier this summer together with my friend Maya, I finally "gave in", and bought my self some Promarkers, after reciving a handfull of them as a gift from Lisa *hugs* :) During the summer I've bought some more, and now I have about 60 Promarkers (and I know I will buy several more :)
So, during my last week of Summer holliday, I finally got some time to practice with my Promarkers...
The first one ended up in the trash...so did the other one...and the third...and the fourth...and even the fift!!!
Nearly giving up, but then I decided to try out this little cutie called James the Bear "In the Snow" from LOTV, and suddenly it all fell in to places :)
So, here it is; My Promarker debut - and a sneekpeek of James the Bear "In the Snow" from Lili of the Valley's Christmas Collection II - Christmas Animals:
Recipe:

Heisan, håper du har hatt en finfin sommer:)
Wow, så rålekkert fargelagt- øving gjør mester ser eg:)
Supersøt bjørn og vakkert kort!!! Er så lekkert med blått og så mange nydelige detaljer å hvile øynene på:)
Klemmer fra Lene:)
Åååå, hvor skal en begynne??? NYYYDELIG kort!!!! Et skjønt motiv, som gatantert snart blir mitt, selv om jeg også pleier å hoppe galant over bamsebjørnene:) Men dette falt jeg for!
Og så er det fargeleggingen da...himmel såååå flott...Jeg tipper det ligger masse lekkert i søpla di også Lena!
Og så fniiiser jeg litt for meg selv. Dette var jenta si som aaaldri skulle ha tusjer...hihi:)
Ha en strålende dag vennen.
Masse klemmer fra Marianne:)
Åhh, det var vel vakkert!!!!!
Nydelig fargelagt motiv, som lene, så liker jeg også veldig godt blå julekort...
Det er ikke lett å farge med promarkers altså??? jeg har så lyst å prøve noe annet enn distress, men aner ikke hva som er "best".
Du har i allefall "knekt promarkerkoden" det er nå sikkert.
Ha en super torsdag.
Klem fra Kaia
Åå, han var da søt!:)Jeg er også der, at jeg ikke er spes. glad i dyre motiver, men når de blir som denne søtingen, så kunne jeg klart det!:)).
Ser ut som du er en av de som takler det meste, innen kort og fargelegging! Skulle tro du hadde gjort dette i evigheter!
Jeg likte også veeldig godt papiret med stjerner på..men det er kanskje "gammelt"?:).
Gleder meg til å se flere Promaker-motiv:).
-skulle kanskje ha begytn å bruke noen av mine 70 stk. også!:))).
Ha en flott dag.
Klem,ellen:)
Oh Lena, I think I am in love! This LOTV ted is just to die for, can't wait for him to be released. Your card is stunning and your colouring is complete perfection. Brilliant. Hugs, Sxx
Dette synes jeg var helt nydelig fargelagt, veldig imponert over at du kun har fargelagt med Promarkere i kort tid:-) Ser ut som du har gjort det i evigheter...Og bamsen er utrolig søt, ikke noe problem å like dyremotiver når de ser ut som han:-)
Takk for at du også skriver hvilke farger du har benyttet, det hjelper oss andre som innimellom står litt fast når det gjelder fargekombinasjoner ;-)
Ha en fin dag:-)
Klem
Ja, ja, noen har det bare. Talent for farging altså. Jeg er ikke akkurat bestevenn med mine ProMarkere, og ikke engang etter forsøk nr 106 kunne jeg fått til noe så flott som dette! Bamsen er helt nydelig farget!
Hele kortet er nydelig. Herlige farger, og skjønne detaljer med stjernene og sløyfene.
Fikk jammen lyst på denne krabaten jeg og, men så var det det med fargingen da...
Ha en super dag!
Klem
Det är verkligen en fröjd att kika in i din blogg.
Alltid lika välgjorda och vackra alster.
Den lilla nallen är ljuvligt söt och helt perfekt färglagd. Upplägget på kortet och alla detaljer är verkligen en fröjd för ögat.
Ha en fin dag.

Sweet image and a beautiful card with all the folds, embellies and pretty color. So glad you joined us at the Pixie Cottage this week.
Hi, Lena Katrine! Your colouring is fabulous!A stunning creation! I bought some Impress feltips but I haven't used them yet and keep on with watercolour pencils. Maybe I'll ge them a try just like you do with Promarkers. hugs. Miria
åååååå dette var nyyydelig :) Du er superflink til å fargelegge :)
beautiful card with such a cute image and perfect colouring
Thanks for sharing with the Lotstodo Challenge xx Hilda
Nydelig kort fra deg igjen. En herlig liten tass du har farget så fantastisk fint. Ha en fortsatt fin dag
Lena this is absolutely stunning hun! Your ProMarker coloring is FANTASTIC...I swear you could color with anything and it would look stunning...you definitely are an artist hun! Love it!
Hugs~ Kim
Himmel og hav, jeg er målløs!!! Her må det da bli trippelt *sukk* og *dån* for dette var skikkelig lekkert asså :)
Og som du fargelegger med tusjer, sikker på at du har øvd?? ;)
Klem fra Nina.
Himmel!! Vad snyggt!! Du har ju lyckats såååå bra med PMna!! Och motivet är ju såååå sött! Använder du en blender till dina PM? Har testat PM med MCP-teknik men är inte nöjd... Distresserna är bättre!
Kram
Linda
Your card is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for entering it into The Stamp Man's Take 2 Colours Challenge :)
Et nydelig kort, Lena Katrine!
Du er allerede bare rå med promakersene..super nusselig motiv perfekt til mønster arkene og fargene!
Lekkert!
Wow dette mestrer du som en proff!! Hehe litt morsomt å lese om tusjefobien din, jeg har hatt det på samme måte, men er på en rar måte blitt litt "addicted" til tusjene...!:)
Lurt å begynne med motiv som er lette å fargelegge, så tar du de andre også etterhvert! Gleder meg til å se flere PM-kort fra deg! Men tror du Distressene blir utryddet nå???:}
Ha en herlig helg i vente!!
Stor klem fra Camilla
