It's a Magnolia Christmas kind of day

Happy Wednesday lovely crafty peeps.  I'm popping in today to share a little something festive.  I've made my first Christmas card of the year and again I seem to be very late to the Crimbo party as everyone's been making festive goodies for a little while, but hey I'm here now and that means that all my Christmas crafting goodies won't stray far from my desk now that I've made a start lol.

So as the title suggests I have something Tilda related to show you.  I have the pleasure of being a guest designer over on the fab Magnolia Forever blog for this month's challenge and the theme we were given to work with was black and white and this is what I came up with.

Medium:  copics


So the card itself is made from acetate and I've just layered up some embossed white card which I've roughly torn to look like hills/snowdrifts and stuck it to the front as foreground snow and then did the same for the inside but placed them higher up the acetate to look like snow in the background.  All the die cuts are in black for contrast and Tilda is coloured in copics in shades of grey to compliment it all, cut out and 3d'd on the front.  To finish I die cut some snowflakes and added little black gems in the centre and then dotted some liquid pearls around to fill in some of the gaps to make it look like it was snowing.

I really enjoyed making this card.  It was actually quite simple to do but very effective I think.

Okay so that's all from me today.  I'm off to colour some new stamps that fell through my letterbox yesterday and hopefully I'll be back shortly to share them with you.

Take care and happy crafting folks.

Guest Designer for ABC Challenges

Hi folks I'm so happy today I have the huge honour of being a guest designer for the ABC Challenges for May isn't that fab.  Thank you so much for having me and I hope I do you proud. 
 
The new challenge today is M for Make is Sparkle and we are being sponsored by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and Tilda's Town.  You can hop over here and see what beautiful creations the very talented dt have created there's always lots of inspiration to be had.
 
Okay so let me show you my card I made for the challenge.  I so love a bit of sparkle so I went to town on this one.  Even the papers I picked for the card have glitter accents on them!  I went back to one of my fave Tilda's for this card and I have had another go and using my distress markers too.

All the flowers have been sprayed with pearl glimmer mist and dipped in glamour dust.

 
A little close up of the so cute image.  Still learning with the distress markers but I'm fairly happy with this one.  I added some glamour dust to her wings and flower too - you can never have too much sparkle he he!!
 
Well we have some fairly good weather here not overly warm but at least its dry and a little breezy so I'm going to go get my washing on the line. 
 
Catch up with you soon and happy crafting.
 
Take care,
Ann-Marie
