This is the first bit of crafting i have done for ages but i had to get it done as its a card for my grandaughter for christmas, i am so behind with christmas its scary i've only got 1 pressie so far and i'm in a panic is anyone else the same or is it just me ?

It fits a challenge so i am entering it into
Just Magnolia week 34 Special Monthly Challenge
Which is make a card for someone special and i made this for my grandaughter who special she has an unusual name and no one can ever find anything with her name so as you can see on the inside i have popped her name inside a circle sentiment.
I have used Tilda (santa's little helper) she is adorable just like my GD.

I coloured her with Ranger distress inks (dress in fired brick,face in tattered rose,worn lipstick) and glittered the white on her hat, her apron and stockings.
I used nestabilitie scalloped circle to cut card and insert and ran the silver card through with cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, snowflakes are punch outs and ribbon from stash.

Hope your all fit and well and coping with time a lot better than me :)
