Winter Wonderland

Hello! I'm running late today; we had a powercut earlier, so all of the usual Sunday morning jobs, like the ironing, had to wait until the power came back on :0(     I can't complain too much, though, as my friend just a couple of miles up the road had been without power for 50 hours!  I don't know how they managed, but they did - I think I'd have been leaving the country if it were me.

Anyway, I'm here to tell you about our last challenge for 2013 over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia.  We've chosen the theme of Winter Wonderland, so anything Christmassy or wintry will do, although you must use either a hAnglar & StAnglar or Magnolia stamp.

I made another flat card for posting:

 

 



I layered up Maja Design papers and kept the whole thing really clean so that I could concentrate on the colouring.  I masked the two Tildas with the church stamp from last year's Magnolia Christmas collection.  Colouring has been done with Copics.  I added die cut corners from La La Land and a Magnolia picket fence die cut, which I edged with Weathered Wood DI and sprinkled with Diamond Dust.  In fact, there's plenty of sparkle on my card - I went a bit loopy with the Glamour Dust and Stickles as well, although it doesn't perhaps show up too well in the photo!

Will keep this short and sweet as the lights keep flickering - in fact, I think I'll suggest to the Boy Wonder that we have dinner early in case the power goes again.
