Pretty in pink

Hey!

Did you all have a nice christmas?

We had a really nice chritsmas morning at home and then went to my grandma and grandad's for dinner and stopped over for a couple of days so it's been really lovely.

Oh, and i never managed to finish all of the stuff i was making! My sister got one armwarmer wrapped up with and i.o.u. note for the other haha!

Soooo, here is a card which i started last week, and finished last night. It was going to be my sister's christmas card, but i didn't have time to finish it so she didn't get one in the end lol.

I used 'Sweet Tilda' and coloured her with distress inks. The papers are Tim Holtz, all edged with Walnut Stain distress ink and gold glitter glue and hand stitched. I didn't want to go too overboard, so just added some pearls and felt ribbon which i stitched on to make it ripply. Tilda is coloured with distress inks:
Hair - Walnut Stain
Skin - Antique Linen, Tattered Rose & Walnut Stain
Dress, socks and ribbons - Victorian Velvet
Shoes - Walnut Stain
I'm entering this in:
Just Magnolia - sketch
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - sparkle and shine

Thanks for looking
