Here comes the snow!

Yes, it's here - as I look out of my kitchen window I can see the snow on the hills. It's been trying to snow here on and off all day but because it's been so wet it isn't sticking.  The problem will be tomorrow morning if it gets any colder - I hope they send the gritter out tonight!

Snow is also the new challenge theme over at Sweet Stampin'. We don't mind whether it's a snowman, snowflakes, snow drift... anything as long as it's snowy (and stamped)!

No snow on my card today, though.  Instead I opted for one of my older, but favourite, Christmas Tildas.  I love this one because she's so lovely to colour and she looks good in soft colours.

I cut out the stamped image with a Nestie and coloured her with Copics (Es and Ws). I used Magnolia papers and added a Cheery Lynn doiley die cut which, like all of the edges, I distressed and coloured with some Frayed Burlap DI.

I added some Diamond stickles to Tilda's ribbons, dress and tinsel for a bit of sparkle.  The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the seam binding is from the Ribbon Girl.  I used a Basic Grey Capella brad in the centre of the bow.

The sentiment panel is cut out with a Nellies die and I added Kaisercraft rub on. The pearls are from my stash and the flowers, which have been sprayed with Glimmer Mist, are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I thought I would enter this card in the following challenges:

TOMIC - Vintage and Lace
Just Magnolia - Anything Goes with Sparkle 

Have a lovely week!
