Snow angel

Hello and welcome back to my little corner of the world. Hope you had a good start of the week and is ready for what ever will come your way. Once again I have a sick kid at home and it drives me nuts that they catch everything there is to get from day care. I am so looking forward to when Philip starts going to school instead of day care.

It's a new week and time for a new challenge over at Crafty Card Makers. This time our theme is "Winged things". As I have been fairly busy I wasn't sure that I had the time to make a card and then I couldn't find any dp and... You know how it can be sometimes. The mojo isn't really there even if you want to.

Luckly for me I have a (now tiny) stash of coloured images that I make when I have the time and feel like colouring. But it's not much left in that pile that I feel like using. But at least this card got done. The image is from Magnolia. I believe it's from last years Christmas release. It's a cute image anyway and I love colouring miss Tilda with distress inks so that's what I have done here.


She is paired up with some dp's from raspberry road and Carta Bella I believe. I normally don't mix and match like that but as first printed one, then another. Nothing worked and I just threw it all on my desk and the dp's kind of picked themself after all that frustration. That's the bad part about colouring a head, it never matches anything. LoL

A few die cuts is used as embellishments. The snow flakes are from Whimsy stamps and the ivy die is from Joanna Sheen. The quality of that die is amazing! I need to get some more from her range. Some flower soft in white, big pearls from Bunny Zoe where I also got the snow flake die by the way. Also a few gemstones from Magnolia is used to decorate this creation of mine. Ops! Forgot that I used a Prima swirl and some lace from WOC as well. A white set of frantage is also used around the image.
