Tilda & My First Christmas Wreath

Hello my blog friends, it's a really cold breezy day here and i've made a creation to match the weather. 
I've made a Christmas wreath from cardboard and stamped a couple of Tildas, used up some of my satin material from an old curtain, added some feathers, flowers, pearl string, a diecut TH clock and a silver snowflake.  I put mini Tilda inside of the snowflake and added some glitter.
I hope you like my creation!!
