The rest was coloured with Copic and Prisma Pencils. Green beads in the centre of the flower pressed into Pinfair Glue which left the 'blob' in the centre. The baubles from Pairie Fairy Designs covered with Accent Gloss and glitter. The paper is from Nitwits. Stitched/Distressed round the card. Ribon/Tape/Lace, Heart doily from stash.

Time for our new Challenge over at Die cut Dreams Christmas Club This weeks theme is
Tilda with Glitter & Bling! Using Karen's tutorial of an Acetate Front Card.......

Here is my card. I have to say I have never used acetate before but following the design it really, really was a fun card to make sooo Thank you Karen for the tutorial which was easy peasy. I will certainly make some more.
Paper came from stash. The digi Christmas Tree came from Pairie Fairy which along with Tilda I coloured with pencils. Lots of glitter on Tildas parcel and the Christmas star. Stitching round my papers. The front of the acetate was a template that was done with more glitter lol. Sentiment was a digi from Sentiment 4 You which I cut with a Spellbinder die and wove ribbon through. Ribbon down the other side with a star embellishment on.

Hope you are still with me This is my side view, it's difficult to take a good quality picture with the acetate and this was the best I could do!

I've just found out how to write on my blog before I put my card on!! With having my signature at the bottom I've never been able too figure out how to move it so have always had to put my card on first...(that moved it) It just shows I'm never to old to learn something new lol.

Ive used papers and ribbon from stash. I have stamped the cute Magnolia birds (E-bay again lol) and coloured everything with pencils, also, my first attempt at hand drawn sky!! The bunny has glitter on her tail. Computer sentiment and EK Succes punch.

around the edges ( or but them farther back) you would have been able to tell lol. The Christmas Tree is a digi image from Pairie Fairy Designs, I printed it out then measured it so that I could do it again by masking the Tilda and then the stamped fence onto it to give me my scene (hope your still with me on this). Everything was coloured with pencils. Lots of glitter. WO flowers with tiny beads on them. Swirls are from a Crealies die.

Such a lovely day Hubby is taking me out. So will be back later to look for some Challenges.
