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.
