Morning Everybody!! Sorry I've been a bit quiet for a while but I've just been trying to catch up with myself doing some dt work as I'll be away from this afternoon until Saturday evening late. I'm off to Darlington for a CRAFTAGANZA with Crafters Companion woohooo. Three whole days of crafting and no housework, no kids to feed, just some much needed me time hehe! Anyway enough about me, let's get onto today's card which is for a brand new challenge over at The Creative Cottage and the theme has been chosen by moi. I was getting a bit tired of all the red & green going on with Christmas so I decided to choose "Untraditional Christmas Colours".
I have chosen one of my favourite images, as always, Tilda! I have coloured her in with Copics and used flowersoft on the trims of her coat and hat as well as the snowman's hat. I then used glamour dust for the snow. The papers I have used are from the Snow Much Fun Kit, available from the Creative Cottage shop. The sentiment is one of LOTV's new range. Lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the snowflakes are a Martha Stewart punch. The ribbon and charm are from my stash. I'll be entering my card into the following challenges :Just Magnolia - White + 1 (blue)
Magnolia Down Under - Fab Sketch
CES Challenge - Lovely lace
Fussy & Fancy - Christmas with no red or green
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Punch it up
Simon Says - Let it snow
Totally Gorjuss - Not so traditional
Wild Orchid - Blue Christmas
Thanks for stopping by. Let's hope Mr Blogger decides to be kind to me and post my scheduled posts for tomorrow and Friday (fingers crossed). Please do hop over to the Creative Cottage Challenge blog for some fabby inspiration from my fellow teamies and join in the fun with us. Lotsa luv xxxx
