Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop - October

Been a while since we had a Magnolia-licous Christmas All Year Log Blog Hop. We took the summer off but whoops now it is fall and Christmas is fast approaching. Got to get on the stick. 
If you came from Nadyne's blog here you are on the right track, if not you might want to start at the beginning here. Now to show you my creation.


Tilda is colored with distress inks. I took a watercolor class this summer and it helped some with this technique but I sure need a lot more practice. I hadn't done any watercoloring since I took the class. Maybe some day I will share what I did in the class. The swirl is a die cut from memory box. I added flowers and stars plus some ribbons. Lots of stickles - yellow, gold and stardust,  are added as well. The dp is from basic grey. Next on your stop is Robyn's blog here.

Hope you enjoy your journey and be sure to leave lots of comments along the way. Comments really help us improve and make our day when they are compliments. lol
