Tilda and Bell


I am getting a bit fed up with Christmas cards and don't seem to have any time to craft, so I have made this quick, simple one this morning. I have found it really hard matching papers to these flowers, so I have only used 2 lots of plain cardstock. I embossed the bp using my Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder and then distressed it a bit. I matted Tilda after watercolouring her, added a bit of lace and 3 flowers. As it has snow and flowers on it, it meets both this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge and Spoonfull of Sugar.
