Tilda's Christmas Book

Good morning everyone!

I've still got this cold but the kitchen is nearer being finished.

So, i made another card in the shape of a book.

I inked up another new stamp, this one is Magnolia 'Tilda with sockpuffs' and i coloured her with my Promarkers. I sat her on the Magnolia  'Christmas lace bench' which was coloured with Promarkers too.

Designer paper is Dovecarft's 'Glad Tidings'.

Cinnamon stick and wooden Noel painted with Gesso.

Dies are Magnolia 'Snowflurries' and Find It Trading Wintertide Ice Crystal.

Embellishments, flowers from Sweet Lilac Flowers, pearls, snowball and pom pom ribbon from my stash.

Me and My Snowman

Morning everyone! Sniffle, Sniffle!

Urgh! Went to the Doctor's yesterday to get some painkillers for a trapped nerve in my neck and ended up with a full on head cold, yuk! It doesn't help having the workmen going in and out with the doors open!

Good news is i'm still able to craft and here's a card with lots of surprises.

Image is Magnolia 'Me and My Snowman' from the new Aspen collection which i stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers. I added Glamour Dust, Magnolia's 'Snowflurries' dies, pearls and snowballs from my stash.

Other dies are Go Kreate, JoyCrafts Winter word die and Find It Trading Wintertide Ice Crystal and Spirit of Christmas Snowflake border die.

Lace is from Live and Love Crafts, ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.

Glass bottle ( which i filled with glitter ) and paper is from The Works.

Main image on front opens to reveal a snowman and more Magnolia 'Snowflurries' dies.

Card opens to reveal fancy folded paper which i punched a snoflake border with my E K Success punch.

Vellum sentiment inside.
