Christmas Cutie

I managed to finish another Christmas card over the weekend so I though I'd share it with you.

 


This Tilda wasn't in the Stampclub set but I as soon as I saw her I knew that I needed to have her in my collection.  She was a joy to colour with my Distress Markers as she suits the soft tones you can create with them.  I simply added some Picket Fence Distress Stickles to the pompom on her hat and just sprinkled the lightest touch of Frantage around her to look like it is snowing (OK, so some of the snow is gold, but you can call it artistic license).

I used Basic Grey Piccadilly papers which I sewed and distressed with the Timmy Thingy and some Walnut Stain ink. The ribbon, flowers and lace were in my stash and the corner (complete with Frantage) was bought from Live and Love Crafts.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Tilda's Town - Christmas
Simply Magnolia - Anything Goes
Deep Ocean Challenge - Winter
Live and Love Crafts - Christmas photo inspiration (Christmas and the gnomes' hats!)
