Let It Snow!

Hello.  Happy Tuesday!

We're midway in our current challenge at the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog where the theme is...WEATHER WAYS.  Show some kind of weather in your card/project--sunny, wintry, snowy, rainy, icy, cold, hot, foggy, etc.  You have one more week to join the challenge.  It's Magnolia-licious Team B's turn to show our cards/projects for you inspirations.

So I went with the wintry snowy weather...

I've done some masking work in the stamping of the two Magnolia images I used here.  The colouring was done with my Letraset Promarker and Pantone Tria markers. 

The two images being featured are:
- Silent Night Tilda from the So Jolly & Under the Mistletoe Collection 2009
- Winter Fence from the Santa Collection 2008

 

Although this Tilda is an older Tilda, she is still one of my favorite Christmas images.

This is another easel card from me, but this time it is a twisted easel card.  I've taken pictures of the card on display from a couple of different angles...
