This little girl is so completely adorable that it's kind of out of hand. Her cuteness needs a federal regulation slapped on it. And she's as charming as she is beautiful.
Here's a picture I snuck of her when she was getting her nails done by the queen of all things nail polish - Kristina Werner.
Seriously. She is ridiculously cute.
So I was so excited to see Simon Says Stamp come out with the Lila's heart set as part of their Falling For You release. It totally captures the spirit of this sweet little chicklet. And that's really saying a lot for the artist, because it's an amazing spirit.
So I'm taking my beloved little Lila and playing along with my friends today on an AMAZEBALLS blog hop. You'll faint when you see the list (below). Plus - there are goodies for every stop on the hop, so grab some coffee and prepare your eyeballs for some amazing art!
My contribution for sweet Lila's Heart is a little watercolor with my FineTec watercolor and some Smoky Slate ink. Seriously - how much do you love this girl??
Not as much as I do - I can promise you that!!!
I made a little video of my process on my Lila card - so take a peek here:
I also love Kristina's ADORABLE set in this release - I played with this on the same visit - my friend +Leslie Hanna was nice enough to let me borrow her inks since I was far from home. I just did some inky messiness on this sweet piggy for a birthday card - my sister's birthday was Earth Day so this is her card!
Here is the full list - be sure and visit each one for your chance to win!
