Little Tilda's Christmas.

This card has been sitting in a drawer for the last fortnight.
I keep taking it out and sighing and then back it goes in the drawer. 



I love this very sweet Little Tilda image.
I adore the delicate Pion 'Silent Night' papers.

I do prefer my cards to be clean and simple...but this is just too darn plain even for me!

As always, the image has been coloured with DI re-inkers and markers.
The sentiment is from a PTI set.
MFT die for the snowflake with a little rose in the middle, a satin ribbon and a sprinkle of pearls.

I have tried every bloomin' embellishment I can think of...lace, buttons, more snowflakes, more flowers, swirls, charms, tags...nothing looks right.

*sigh* 
I admit defeat.

Thanks for looking
Love

  4. Elaine, this is absolutely gorgeous! Your coloring always amazes me. Actually you could just post your colored image w/o a card and I would still be happy stopping by for a look lol! I think your embellies are perfect and I'm so glad you took her out of the drawer to share :)

  5. I'm going to disagree - the rose with the snowflake is a lovely touch & I like the way the layered horizontal panel with the ribbon echoes the layering of her socks. Also I think that the angle in the patterned paper is where she should be: visible & your pearls echo the colour included in that image.

  17. It is very pretty the way it is but I see what you mean, it needs just a little something. How about restamping the sentiment on a banner and popping it up? Maybe on a contrasting cardstock like white on blue to pick up the angel? You did ask and you know how I like to voice my opinion...

  21. Well I've ummmed and ahhhed, and ummed and ahhed... and come to the conclusion.... that it's FAB! What's the matter with you woman? Too self critical or what???

    But like Christine above, methinks that Tilda has wormed her way into your affections... LOL

    Big hugs
    Christine x
