Cold, Wet and Windy!

If you live in the UK you might know what I am talking about, if not you can probably guess ... yeah its the weather. The perfect kind of weather for sitting down in a nice warm living room doing something you love, which in the case of Mum last night went on very very late. In fact it was gone midnight when she tore herself away from crafting. So like the ever good daughter I am off I popped after a very long day at work, facing the weather for the third time!!! But it was well worth the trip the card she created was amazing, even if I do say so myself, no wonder she was up past midnight.

 So here is Reindeer Tilda, who is adorable! And wonderfully coloured using Promarkers as follows:
Skin: Satin and Soft Peach
Antlers: Caramel
Lace Trim: Hot Pink
Top: Rose Pink and Cerise
Dungarees: Warm Grey 1 and Warm Grey 2
Socks: Cool Grey 2
As for the hair well, Mum didn't write this down, but she remembered to do the rest so credit where credit due, we are normally back tracing our steps to figure the colours out at this point.
Tilda is finished off with some glitter for her necklace beads.

I can't be sure what papers were used as the patterned ones and the sentiments are from a free paper pack received with one of the many magazines we have. I would however put my best guess at the plain black being from one of our trips to Kanban, really looking forward to going soon. Poor Mum has to work though and is gutted at the fact she will miss out, but it gets her out of going halves of anything spent so I guess that's a bonus for her, though my poor bank account will be rather empty by the time I am done.

The sentiments have been finished with some little pink self adhesive pearls, sorry I don't have more information on these. But don't worry I will teach Mum blogging is about everything.

The organza ribbon I think is from a little fabric craft stall up on Ashton Market, which we purchased while the weather was much like that of today and didn't stop raining all day!

This card fits quite a few challenges,
Top Tip Tuesday Christmas Inspired
Everybody Art Challenge Untraditional Christmas
Just Magnolia Sketch which Mum really enjoyed using (now she finally gets what your meant to do with them)
Totally Papercrafts Bling It On
StampARTic Christmas with Glitter
Totally Tilda Pink and Pearls (it should pass for this one I hope)

Hopefully another creation will appear here on Friday as we have loads of challenges that we want to get entering.

Happy Crafting :o)
