On with my card and I have coloured an oldie' Tilda with Cross Stitch' and masked her with Winter Bench. The papers are from a First Edition paper pad called 'Jingle all the Way'. For the falling snow I have used Frantage and for the lying snow Glamour Dust.

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, whatever you are doing. Well it is still busy, busy , busy for me, I am still playing catch up and have so many things left to do and make, I just hope I get it all done in time. On the plus side all the Christmas present shopping is done so that is a big weight off my mind. I also have  the wedding invites to finish, but I am hoping to do that over the Christmas holidays.

Anyway today we have a new 'Anything Goes or Almost Christmas' card challenge at the Ribbon Girl. This is our last challenge of the year which will run until the 19th December. We will be back in the New Year after the team have had a little rest.

The die peeping out on the left is a Magnolia Lace Swag. All the other dies and the paper pad are from Noor Design U.K.

All the links to the materials I have made are at the bottom of this post, just click on a picture to be taken directly to the product.

I coloured the image using DI reinkers and added some frantage for the falling snow, glamour dust for the lying snow and covering the snowflake banner. The poinsettia die has had some twinklets sprinkled around the petals. Around the image is some lovely pom pom trim from the Ribbon Girl.

The flowers, ribbon, lace, charm and rhinestone sparklers are from my stash.
