Red Colors Of Christmas ~ Tilda





















My goodness I am getting busy,
many things to do.

I have made a few more cards
and then I will need to take a break.

This was a fun monochrome in
shades of red. I used a designer
background paper with lots of sparkle,
and used a glittery red leaf to add
some fun color, also put white sparkle
on Tilda's coat and hat.

Copic colors are used. Skin E00, E11 & R81.
Hair is C00 C3 & C5.
Tilda's coat, hat bell and gloves
are R46, R89 & R37. Boots C5, C7 & C9.
Shadow is W2.

Using my Copic air brush added
some Red to the white Rose. Also
enjoying using our Cuttlebug to
create a fun dotted swiss background.
CS and Merry Chritsmas from SU.
Ribbon and other items from my stash.

I will enter this card in these challenges:

Divas By Design Challenge ~

Tilda Angel





















I love all kinds of Christmas songs.
I am already enjoying my favorite
Christmas carols and hymns.

"Angels We Have Heard on High"
is a Christmas carol. The song
commemorates the story of the birth
of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of
Luke, in which shepherds outside
Bethlehem encounter a multitude
of angels singing and praising the
newborn child.

 I love angels and this Tilda image
is so very sweet. And we can use her
for any time of the year.

This Christmas song is one of my
favorites.

History
In A.D. 129, Telesphous, Bishop of

Rome, ordained that, "In the Holy
Night of the Nativity of our Lord and
Savior, all shall solemnly sing the
'Angel's Hymn.' " With that
proclaimation the 'Angels Hymn'
became the first Christmas hymn
of the Christian church. Its most
common English version was translated
in 1862 by James Chadwick, and its
most memorable feature is its chorus
Gloria in Excelsis Deo!, which is Latin
for Glory to God in the Highest.

I used Copic pens for my coloring.
Flowers from WOC. Ribbon lace and
pearls from my stash.

Gold glitter for her wings and halo.
CS from SU and designer paper from K&Co.

I am entering this card in
these challenges:

The Stamping Boutique Challenge ~
Inspired By Music

Party Time Tuesdays ~ Anything Goes

Shopping Our Stash ~ Odds And Ends
 ~ Used Pearls

Through The Craft Room Door ~
Anything Goes

Have a super great time designing
cards and enjoying listening to some
fantastic Christmas music.

Many thanks for your kindness to
come by and leave comments and
joining my blog.

Blessings to all, Doreen

Tilda In Winter Wonder Land





















Greetings everyone. I have been
away from my hobby room for awhile
and now back at it. I so enjoy
making cards to try all kinds of
layout designs.

Tilda is in a winter wonder land setting.
I love this image.
She is enjoying her little blue bird
and the snowmen in the snow drifts.

I used Copic pens to color Tilda. Card
stock is from SU. I used a torn paper  
technique and used my stipple brush
to add color to the snow texture.
Other items from my stash.

Are any of you having snow yet?  We
have none in the forcast for us.
Just lots of wind and rain.  And it is
cold, in 30's this morning. Burrrrr.....

Packages ~ Tilda





















This is indeed a busy time of year.

I  am needing to spend a lot of time
getting gifts ready for Christmas.
Plus I have many birthdays at this
end of the year.

So my card features on my blog will
be very limited.

I have quilts and quilted bags to finish
and table runners to make.
Also my Christmas cards to make
and send.

Being handicapped I seem to move
more slow than most of you, but still
enjoy the challenge of the projects.

This Tilda is a fun one for Christmas
or any winter Birthday card.
I used Copic markers to color my
image and for some fun accent I
used a dotted swiss template in my
Cuttlebug for a background paper.

I will feature this card in two challenges:

Krafty Hands Challenge ~ Christmas

One Stop Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Do keep in touch and again I love
viewing your fantastic blogs.

Many thanks for coming by.

Blessings to all

all doing well.

not get all things done....LOL...do
you have days like this?

My card making will  be slowing
down as I need to keep making gifts

and so need to use my fabrics and other
items for gift giving that I have here
at the apt.

items from my stash. It is hard to see
the glitter on the angel, it is really pretty.

This is a fun winter forest scene.
