Tilda's Town Challenge #54 - Christmas

Time for a new challenge at Tilda's Town..

This week's challenge is to help you get ahead on your Christmas card stash!

Here's what I came up with:

This is Tilda With Two Little Gifts from the Christmas Story Collection 2012..

The Stars I've used on the borders are from the same collection..

I love the card's shape..

I've used GoKreate Large Frames Frilly #10 for that..

The DP's are from Maja Design's Vintage Spring Basics Collection..

The textured papers are from Papermania..

I've also used some Kraft paper..

The Spruce that's hidden under the image is a Magnolia Doohickey..

You can find it here..

The Snowflake and Tilda Tag are Doohickey's too..

This gorgeous lace is from a local store..

You know what? I just can't stop using doilies.. It has become an obsession.. :)

I've added some cheesecloth under the image for some more texture..

The lace on this picture is from the same local store as the other one..

The pearls are from Rayher..

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort & Godt..

All the paper edges are distressed and then machine sewn..

I've used my Spellbinders Ovals to cut out the image..

And then the Scalloped Ovals for the kraft layer under..

The image is stamped with Archival Ink on 300g Langton aquarel paper and coloured with Distress Inks..

You can find my step by step colouring tutorial HERE..

Of course I had to add a little bit of Frantage ..

I've also used some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to add some more details..

Did I forget anything?

Hope not..

So this was my card.. What about you?
