Winter at LLC

Hi Peeps,

Hope you all had a great weekend.  Mine was very productive in that I cleaned the house top to bottom, cleaned the oven and had a major sort out of the airing cupboard and I made a card.  I'm worn out and back to work today and unfortunately it's not a short week :(

It's my first post for the LLC store blog and I am still very excited about this.  Live and Love Crafts do the most gorgeous embellishments, I am so grateful for Sandy for giving me the opportunity.  The girls have made me feel so welcome, they are a lovely little family.

I have chosen to colour a Magnolia image, Winter Skating Tilda, using copics.  I have matted Riddersholm Fleamarket paper and used both sides of the Riddersholm Ladylike.  I have also been busy stitching with my sewing machine.  I added a Melissa Frances Mini Bags and Tag at the very top and decorated with some Shabby Seam binding, Cluny Fan Lace and Bakers Twine add secured with a vintage pearl brad.  You will also see dangling from the brad two gorgeous Prima Velvet Trinkets. I also added a 4.5" doily, love doilies.

I added a Make It Crafty Snowflake Oval Frame and coloured this with prisma pencils.


 All the edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and I have dabbed some Snow Tex here and there and as Sandy has said, this is one of my favourite products.

I added some Cheesecloth under the main image and some gorgeous Scalloped Venice Lace and some Organza Roses Trim and added some pearls to the centres.

I cut out a Tim Holtz Poinsetta using the design papers and added a Vintage Findings Beaded Centre, gorgeous.

A little floral arrangement in the top right hand corner consisting of a white Gardenia and some Kort and Godt Chrysanthemum's and some Pearl String.

 A close up of the tag and those gorgeous Prima Velvet Trinkets - Zephyr.

The "Giggle" ticket is from Tim Holtz Adage Tickets and just finishes it all off nicely, I think.




Click on any of the highlighted products and you will be taken straight to the product in the LLC store.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:-

Magnolia Down Under - Anything Goes
Pretty Little Ribbon Shop - Flowers and Ribbon
The Ribbon Reel Challenge - Photo Inspiration, (cream and snowflakes)
Gingerloft - Christmas or Winter
Lovely Hanglar and Magnolia - Something New (all embellies and stamp)

    OMG Tracy, I'm thoroughly enjoying the box of chocolates. Can it be Monday soon again, so I can have another one? :-) You do live up to your nickname BIG TIME, but I think I might have a new one for you..."the snow queen". :-) Love your subtle sprinkling of the snow tex. Absolutely stunning card, I've always loved blue and brown, so this is right up my street!!!

    Hugz,
    Sandy

    P.S. Love the new look of your blog. Did you know it's by the same girl who's done most of LLC's Graphical Design Work?
