What a Huge Present !!!!!

    
Hi

Today I want to show you a Christmas card I've made using Magnolia's Tilda with a Large Christmas Gift stamp.  I really went to town with this card, and enjoyed every minute of it LOL!!!!



I did some distressing to give the card a bit of a vintage feel. I also added some glitter to my roses for an added bit of winter sparkle!!!

I coloured Tilda with my Copic Markers and used some Iridescent Stickles Glitter Glue to make it look like she is walking through frosty snow.  Here's a close up.
 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

I Did It Creations - Surprise Me
Totally Gorjuss - Sparkle 
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Lets Get Punchy
Papertake Weekly - Sparkly and Bright
Charisma Cardz - Vintage

Recipe: 

Stamps: Tilda with Large Christmas Gift from Magnolia. Sentiment Stamp from Circle of Friendship Stamp Set by Stampin' Up
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa.  Ranger Distress Ink Pumice Stone
Papers and Card: From my stash
Embellishments: Iridescent Stickles and Silver Stickles Glitter Glue, Flowers, Pins and Crochet Doily from my stash
Tools: Nesties Mega Deckled Rectangles and Large Circles with Sizzix Big Shot.  Scalloped Edger Punch and Bird Punch (used to punch the leaves for my flowers) from Stampin' Up

  
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed making it !!!!

Nice job on the colouring. You said the doily is from your stash, did you make it or was it purchased? I make my own flowers, but I tend to use ones that are about 1" and most of the ones I've seen for sale are larger. It hadn't occurred to me to use something doily sized, but I could probably crochet that too. I 'm crochetting a circular baby blanket that uses the same elements as part of a more complex pattern, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Thanks for the idea!
