Sparkling Winter Tilda

Yeeey, I have a Magnolia card to show you,
and I tell you, it was a lot of fun to make!

I used two papers from Poppydesign.
I chose them because they matched the image so well,
but I struggled really hard to find other things to match it.

Tilda was colored with Distress Reinkers.
I smudged some Gesso over it to make if look a bit older
and lighter. I also used Star Dust stickles on her, on all the dies,
and on the flowers.

I used three dies from Magnolia. A star, leaves and a swirl.
I used some seem binding ribbon, and angel charm, and the two
brads are from Making Memories. 

I used a ribbon from WOK, a ribbon, mesh and pearls from Ribbon Girl.

The pearl detail on the bow is also from Ribbon Girl.
Gosh, I love those "bases" for the pearls etc. 

I struggled a lot to find the right flowers. Suddenly I founds some
gorgeous Prima roses that I think I got in my calendar last year.
They haven't matched anything I have made before, but now they
where just the right colors. They where just too big.
So except for one, I took off a few layers of the flowers to make them smaller.
I also used tulips and roses from WOC. 

This is the backside of the card. I made it a single page card,
because I didn't have enough paper to make it a fold card.
I used two of these new larger heart doilies I just got. 

I realize now that I forgot to use a sentiment,
so strictly this does not have to be a Christmas card, but that
is what I was thinking when I made it. The angel makes it Christmas,
I think. ;)

Another show of the snow. THIS looks like Christmas,
with snow lying on the trees. I took this picture yesterday,
I actually went skiing! Gosh its hard, but good exercise.
Think I'll go skiing today to, the weather is lovely!
