Krafty Snowflakes

A quick post from me today as I'm getting dinner ready for my daughter's arrival this evening.

I received this stamp recently in a parcel of goodies from Sir Stampalot  and couldn't wait to ink her up.

The stamp is called Snowy Tilda, isn't she gorgeous? So cute.

I coloured her with my copics,

Dress, bows trim:  V91, 93, 95 

Hair E50, 51, 53, 57

Boots, scarf & gloves: E41, 43 57.

Shading W0, 2

I used a Spellbinders nesting circle to cut her out, and used a distressing tool, and a little distress ink in Antique Linen and some gold stickles to edge.  The stitching is done by hand, I do own a sewing machine but I'm too used to sewing on fabric and I can't get the hang of machine sewing paper at the mo.  I quite enjoy sewing by hand anyway, it just takes a lot longer lol.

A view of the inside.  The papers are by magnolia.  I quite liked the contrast of the Kraft, not the usual colour for snowflakes but it works for me and the light brushing of gold stickles looks rather swanky on them I thought.  These small snowflakes are cut with a La La Land Die set called Heart Snowflakes.

A couple of arty shots here, not the best but I was dashing these off super quick lol.  I brushed a little stickles on the flowers too, I rather like the effect, it's not too heavy.  The large snowflake die is a Whimsy one, I always have soooo much trouble getting Whimsy dies to cut cleanly in my Cuttlebug, I have no idea why, every other die is just fine.  The pearls were actually cream, I coloured them with V95 to match, love that you can do that with alcohol markers :)  Ribbon, flowers, pearls, brad, pins and those lovely little jingle bells are a mix from
Wild Orchid Crafts and The Ribbon Girl.

I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges:
