In between making mincemeat, marking prelim papers and helping with homework I've managed to make a couple of Christmas cards.
It's been a while since I coloured on Kraft card and I still can't get the skin right, but I'm pleased with Tilda's hair and her dress. The papers are a mixture of Authentique and Simple Stories (love this year's Christmas pad) and the border was cut with a Memory Box die. The only embellies are a couple of pearls, a charm and some twine as I need some cards to be flat for posting.
I added a fair bit of sparkle with some Glamour Dust but I must confess that not all of it is stuck down with glue. 'Cos I've been making mincemeat while marking prelim papers and helping with homework.
I'm now off to unstick the pages of the Boy Wonder's homework jotter and rub off the sticky splodges on the exam papers. Still, everything smells very nice.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge: For the love of Tilda
Ribbon Girl: Add Sparkle (with added mincemeat!)
Magnolialicious: Stickles and/or Glitter (see above)
I should also tell you that we have a new challenge starting today at Sweet Stampin'. The theme is Snow People and we're being sponsored by Bugaboo, Di's Digi Downloads AND Joanna Sheen! So go and check out what Team Fi have made here - hope you can play along this week!

Hi! really gorgeous card,love your design and pretty detail too.Not had a go on Kraft yet! Know just how you feel about multitasking, George has been working on a space project all last week with Mummy's help too lol!
May have to buy some Xmas cards :)
Have a lovely day,hugs Lou.xxx
You've been making mincemeat?! I am not worthy. And actually I think you should leave the glitter on the prelims.
You should be pleased with your colouring on the Kraft, it looks great, especially the hair and dress! Her face is fine too, don't be so hard o. Yourself. I also like the details, the postcard, the snowflake and the papers are lush. Hmm, I think that's about it!
