Woo hoo! It's time for another challenge at Just Magnolia, and this week it is our special monthly challenge with that fantastic prize from Simon Says Stamp! Thank you for all your wonderful entries last week I really enjoyed looking through them! This month's challenge is to create an extra special christmas card or project for someone special. Great excuse to get all those gorgeous christmas stamps out (like we need an excuse). I have made a card with a rather gorgeous fold which I just had to try after seeing it on the lovely Marga's blog. The gorgeous papers are by Magnolia, managed to get my hands on some at last and they truly are gorgeous!
I have used Tilda with Mistletoe, coloured with distress inks. I have added some liquid pearls to the buttons on her shoes. Around the edge of the oval I have stamped just the mistletoe part of the stamp with peeled paint distress ink before covering the edge with glitter glue.
There wasn't much room for embellishments, think I will make a larger version next time I do one of these! I have added a tulle ribbon tied in a simple knot to one side and three roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, that have been sprayed with glimmer mist. 
I punched some branches using MS branch punch from white card and sponged the edges with brushed cordoruy distress ink and then covered them in glitter glue for a frosty look.
On one corner of the "stand" part of the card I added another rose and some branches to match the front of the card.....
.....and on the other corner I added a small sentiment and again stamped the mistletoe part of the image around the edges.
Thanks for looking, do check out the rest of the DT's creations, they are stunning and I hope you can manage to join us this week! xIf you have time please see my other post today for the Crafty Calendar Challenge! x
