Tilda box

I've still got this stinking cold and haven't really felt like crafting, but I did make it inot my craft room last night and made this box for one of Ellie's Christmas presents.
It covers these challenges:
Colour Create - blue, silver and white
Friday Sketchers - sketch
Just Magnolia - distressing
Stampin for the weekend - Christmas goodie box and distressing
Allsorts - bling

I watercoloured Tilda and coloured the bell and ribbon using silver and starlight inks before cutting her out. The dp are distressed and inked and I angled the dp for a jaunty look (sneezes are useful at time !!!) To make the snowflake feature I cut a circles and punched an elm branch out and inked it up. I added silver brads to the corners, a punched sentiment and gems to the branches. I added a silver ribbon round the side of the box.

Here is a closer look at the punched branch.
Here's a look at the box and the ribbon.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Tilda with Bell
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Blitzen
Embellishments: punched leaves, ribbon, gems and brads from stash
