Holly Tilda A Vintage Christmas

Today I have a Christmas project to share with you. I bought a couple of mini printer trays a couple of weeks ago and this week have been able to finish a couple of projects. Last night I did one for Halloween; you can see it here if you would like to take a peek. You can get many of these Memory Box dies over at Magnolia Licious store.

I have created a vintage Christmas scene with Holly Tilda who is just too adorable. I couldn't resist giving her pretty little dress some of may favorite polka dots. And I added some glitter to her bows to add a festive flavor. All the edges of the paper were distressed with Gathered Twigs.



A closer view of Tilda:


How about a different angle:


Now for the recipe:
7 Gypsies Mini Printer Tray
Magnolia Stamp - Holly Tilda
Copic Markers
Poppy Stamp Dies - Grand Madison French Door, Antique Lamp
Memory Box Die - Holly Vine
Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch
Perfect Pearls - Rouge, Opal Pearl
Ribbon
Misc. Embellishments
Tim Holtz idea-ology Adornments Christmas Charms
Distress Ink -Gathered Twig
Authentique Paper

I am entering my project in the following challenges:
Totally Tilda #56 - Bingo Grid (Distressing, Punches, Charms)
Midweek Magnolias - Week #30 -Distressed!
Simon Says - Anything Goes
Magnolia Mania #56 - Bow
