Christmas Blessings

I made this card for the Mojo Monday 168 challenge.  Here's a look at Julee's great sketch.

I used dp from Websters Pages, a Magnolia Tilda angel, and the scalloped tag and sentiment are from Verve's "Glad Tidings."  I colored Tilda with Copics.  The ribbon is from my stash, and I added a few pearls as the dots in the sketch and one in the center of the snowflake.  The ribbon was tied using a Bow Easy, and I turned it upside down (this was hard for me to do!) so that the tails are pointing up.  I have seen that done on soooo many cards, but when I have tried it, I just can't get it to look like it was intentional.  Here though I think it works since it is by the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by!

ATS Magnolia Challenge 4

For the 4th Magnolia Challenge at ATS, they are challenging us to make Christmas themed cards.  I'm using Tilda under the mistletoe.  Isn't she sweet?

I started using the VLV week 3 sketch for this card, but the square panel just didn't work with the image I'd already colored, so I just made a bigger bow instead to fill up the space!  The dp are all My Mind's Eye.  The green is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  I colored Tilda using Copics and used a MS doily lace punch. 

I used Tilda under the mistletoe available here at All That Scraps.  Here's a closeup of the double bow. 

Finally, the inside.   I tried to fit the little sentiment on the front, but it just didn't work at all, so I moved it inside the card. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Create a Scene - Christmas is the Theme and HYCCT

I thought that I wasn't going to meet the challenge deadline for this one, but I'm going to squeak in just under the wire!  On the All that Scraps blog, the Magnolia Challenge was to make a Christmas scene.  So I picked one of my favorite Tildas - I think she's so cute in her snowsuit with the fur muff, the holly trimmed envelope, and the finch stamp.  They are colored with Copics, and then I cut out Tilda and the bird and placed them on the envelope.  The sentiment is from an old C.C. Designs set called "Olivia's Birdies."   I added glitter to her wings and used white Flower Soft for the "fur" trim on the hood edge and the muff.

I also made this card for one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges over on SCS.  This fits the pink holidays challenge, HYCCT02A.   The dp is Basic Grey's "Eskimo Kisses" and the pink is from BG's "Lemonade" collection.

I made a second HYCCT challenge card this morning.  It's actually today's challenge which is HYCCT09, Let's Dabble in Some Scrabble.  I may have taken the challenge a bit too literally, but I made a 6 x 6 card with words that I hoped would be inspiring and/or comforting to the recipient.  The background is scored at 1/2 inch intervals using a Scor-Pal.  Then I cut the tiles just shy of 1/2 inch and wrote the letters on them.  A few flowers and a satin ribbon and I thought it needed something more, so I added the large pearls as a border. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed day!
