I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas - Magnolia-Licious - Winter Themed

We have a special challenge for you at Magnolia-Licious as both teams have come together to create a plethora of fabulous samples for you to enjoy!
Our challenge is "Winter" so grab a Tilda or Edwin with their hats, gloves and scarfs on and get creating!
We don't get a lot of Wintery type weather (apart from cold) here in Texas so it is always fun to dream and create around this theme. I decided to use the adorable Winter Skates Tilda as the star of my card and kept it all blue and icy :)

Challenges:
Christmas Cards All Year Round - Winter Wonderland
Hobbycutz - Winter Wonderland
A Creative Romance - Winter Blues
Crafty Sentiments - Blues
Color Me Creative - Winter, Frosty and Cold
C is For Challenge - Winter is Coming (1 entry only)
Deep Ocean - Winter
Papertake Weekly - Snow and Ice
Chocolate, Coffee and Cards - Monochromatic
CRAFT - Christmas (5 entries only)
Crimbo Crackers - Christmas Words
Fashionista Magnolia - Christmas Bling
Artistic Inspirations - Use a Sentiment
Love to Scrap - Anything Goes (2 entries only)
Brown Sugar - Anything Goes (2 entries only)
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes




Card Recipe:
Image - Winter Skates Tilda
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Winter Bundle by Authentique
Sentiment - Lily of the Valley Grungy Christmas
Die - Labels 25 by Spellbinders
Ribbon - Martha Stewart
Snowflakes - Dress It Up
Flowers - Recollections
Rhinestones - The Paper Studio






I drew a little wall for Tilda to sit on, always makes her look better grounded I think, and I love how the blue and aqua just make the whole thing pop.
Anyway I hope I have made you think of Winter a little and that you will have time to come along and play with us at Magnolia-Licious in this challenge>

Definitely fun colors Katie and skilled coloring! I am embarrassed to say how long it took to figure out what those rings were thru the toe of the tennis shoes! LOL! Once I did, I confirmed with the name of this Tilda in your Recipe - I should have done that first! Thank you for playing “Anything Goes – with an optional twist of Holiday Thanks or a Hostess Gift” at our house!
