Just a quick card to share with you today. I bought this stamp ages ago and it is a Christmas Tilda - 'Tilda with ribbon' - but whenever I've used it it's not been for a Christmas card! So this is it's first outing actually on a Christmas one lol!
I've coloured her with promarkers and pencils. The backing papers are from Dovecraft 'Vintage Christmas' and the ribbon and lace are from Cart-Us.
I've added a LOTV 'grungy sentiment' - just love these! - and a Marianne die cut swirl and poinsettia.
I know, it's another red & green Christmas card! - but I do quite like these muted shades. I promise to do better next time and make a few Christmas cards that feature other colours!
I'm entering this card into:-
Amusing Challenges - anything goes
Dynamic Duos - colour challenges
Fat Pages & Cards with Attitude - anything goes
As I mentioned in my post yesterday I was off to visit an old friend (although she'll thump me for calling her old! - I mean old as in terms of we've been friends for a long time!). I was staying with her when she went into hospital to have her daughter 24 years ago - and now her daughter has had a baby girl Grace. So I went to Manchester yesterday to meet baby Grace and have a cuddle!
now isn't she cute? Grace is 10 weeks old now and just gorgeous. There were problems when she was born and she's had to undergo scans and all sorts, and still has more to face, but we're all praying and hoping that she's fine. And yesterday she was just perfect! I took a few baby knits with me for her
and thankfully they fitted! Just thought I'd share such a cute little face with you to cheer a grey Monday!
Hope your day goes well,
Back soon, Kim x
