Tilda Christmas















Again tilda is coloured using watercolour pencils and then added extra sparkle using some stickles (doesnt show up very well in these photos). The papers are from the winter wonderland stack. The lilac card is embossed using the cuttlebug snowflake folder. Snowflakles are made with a sizzix die and then stuck gems in the centres, the swirls are dies cuts that Sarah sent me, really need to buy one of these dies as i love using these swirls. The sentiment and holly is a sliver peel off and then added a small blue gem to the holly. Then finished the card off with some star shaped gems.

I used blue organsa ribbon to wrap round the card and tied it using a (bright although it doesnt look it in these pictures) red button. sorry the pictures arent brilliant but the weather is so bad, no natural light.
