Christmas Recipe at Totally Tilda

It is time for a new challenge at Totally Tilda and we have chosen a Christmas Recipe.

What is that? You must use all of the following on your
Christmas Theme Creation 

• 2 Different Designer Papers
• Pearls
• Ribbon

And for this challenge we would like to welcome a new sponsor.

This week we are very lucky to be sponsored by the lovely The Ribbon Girl
If you haven't been over to the Ribbon Girl shop you should go and have a peek at all the lovely goodies for sale over there .... everything is so yummy !!
Thank you so much for sponsoring us  xx.

This is my creation.

I have very few Christmas Tilda’s because I just don’t make Christmas cards (I know, bad me) plus I tend to find Tilda’s so versatile that I really can use most any one for a card.

Here is a close up of Tilda.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will join us at Totally Tilda.

Last post for today

I was creative today and it was so fun! Rarely do the stars all line up and allow this to happen so I am stoked!

So, I decided since my first tag came out OK I would try another one. This was kind of out of my comfort zone and I stared at it for a long time trying to figure out what to do and then it just happened.

I am a Twilight fan and with the final movie coming out I fell in love with this sentiment. I adored this Saturated Canary image – Starla as soon as I saw her.

This is a close up. It’s hard to see but I used Copic Spicas on the stars, her eyes and lips.

I added Ranger Clear Rock Candy glitter to the cheesecloth after dying it with Tim Holtz distress ink – Antique Linen. After I colored Starla I went over the whole image with Antique Linen to dull her down some.

And for the sentiment I used Glossy Accents and sprinkled more glitter in it and let it dry.

I am entering this in the Saturated Canary challenge with the theme of Fairy Tale. Anyone that likes Twilight is definitely part of a fairytale.

Thanks for stopping by and following all the way to the end of my rambling! Have a great week.

A Tag
