Yes I know it’s a strange title, and it clearly is not the first Christmas for Tilda herself, but for me, this is the first Christmas card I have made ever!!!!!!!!! Well I say ‘ever’ perhaps I did make one or two for my Mom all those years ago, but I cannot remember. I am just sooooo loving this card making, I am obsessed by it. I know my productivity levels are low, but I enjoy the planning and creativity side of the computer imaging as much as putting the final card together.
I have been working this week on the adorable Magnolia stamp from the Christmas collection I decided to use with the Fir tree branch, again from the new collection. However the branch is quite large, so I stamped it, scanned it, and then reduced it to a size to fit well with Tilda. I also added the baubles to the tree to match the one she is holding in her hand. The papers are from a download called Fraise by Kate Pertiet from Designer Digitals, the ribbon is from the Raspberry Ribbons October kit. I coloured Tilda with Pro Markers, with a few touches from Sakura Stardust pens and a little glitter here and there. Dawny’s sketch created a lovely layout for the prepared image, but I did have to increase the card size to get everything in!!!!!!!!
Thank you for looking, your feedback is very inspiring and I love to hear your thoughts. xxx
