To Add or Not Too Add, that is the question......

Hello everyone how are you all? Hope you all have a fabby dabby weekend, we have the sun shining here by the sea...........fingers crossed it stays for a while ;0)

Here is my card I made a couple of days ago, something landed through my letterbox & I had to use them or 1 of them anyway, straight away lol.

You see the gorgeous Joy Craft die that the image is matted onto that, well those came through my door & OMG I'm soooooooo in love with them. I also inked the raised parts with Weathered Wood DI.

Added Tim Holtz On The Edge 'Snow Flurries' & some pom pommy stuff along the top ;0)

The gorgeous paper at the bottom is Magnolia 'Old Angel Script' which I thought went perfect with this stamp. It has also been inked with Weathered Wood. The strip along the middle is a scrap piece but I think its from the 'Rondelle' pad. Silver ribbon is from my stash.

This is 'Dancing With Stars Tilda' & she is coloured with Copics.

I have to say this is my favourite Maggie stamp she is just lush & of course she has wings & I lurve wings.

Inside I have kept plain & just added another Joy Craft die inked the same way as the front. I'm not sure if there should be something else on this card, not quite sure if something is missing........hence my post title lol. I did want Tilda & that die to be main focus so that bit works lol.

Snowy Tilda & A Pic Of Me & Payton

Good morning my lovelies how are you all? I'm sorry I wasnt along with a card yesterday I had my grand-daughter at the weekend so there was housework etc to catch up with :0(

Anyway I do have a card to share with you today using one of the new stamps just released from Magnolia. Now I told myself I wasnt buying any of these as I have so many uninked christams stamps...............yea I know I'm weak!!!!!!!!!

This is 'Snowy Tilda' from the Magnolia Christmas Story collection, she does have a snowflake in her hand but I replaced it with a metal snowflake charm but cut off the loop. I paper pieced her dress with scrap paper & added prisma pencil for a bit of shading.

I've used Magnolia 'Christmas Toys' paper & inked the edges with Walnut DI.

I cut out 2 trees using a Marianne die. The ribbon is from my stash as is the tag punch I used for the sentiments. Added 'Icicles' from a Marianne die. Added Stardust Stickles & a pearl using my Pearl pen in the centre.

The pom-pom trimming I got from here.

I havnt decorated inside because TBH I'm not very happy with the colouring on her gloves & boots so I wouldn't be able to send it to anyone. Instead I will just turn her into a Christmas picture or she will stay in my hobbit on my card shelf lol.

Ingredients used..............

Magnolia 'Snowy Tilda' stamp - Sir Stamp A Lot

I chose to use an image by one of my favourite artists & its another one of her new releases.

I have made a christmas card for a dear lady friend who inspires me all the time, & there was no question to what image to use, it had to be an SC image & this is the new 'Stockings', isn't she fab!!!

I have added 'Snowflake Corner' & added Pearl Dots. The sentiment stamp I've had for ages but cant remember where from, it goes perfect with this image tho ;0) 

Added thick Burlap, seam binding & gingham ribbon all from my stash & tied a

 Bronze Christmas Charm, these are gorgeous.

Under the flowers I added 'Holly' die cut.

I have used 'Lost & Found Christmas' papers & inked all the edges using walnut DI. I lurve this pad :0)

Added a 'Frostyville Wreath' & the sentiment I cut out using a WOJ tag die & slid underneath the image.

I used copics to colour this image & I added bits of Stardust Stickles.
