Make sure you stop by at our challenge blog for all the details, rules and to see all the wonderful creations of the DT! For my card I used an Alota stamp which Ilona also carries in her store . I colored the image using my Copics. I kept the colors soft and made the card in a antique/vintage style with lots of glittery accents (Stickles, Stardust, Diamond, Platinum). The punch I've used is from M.S.. The dies are from Spellbinders and Nellie Snellen. I distressed around the edges of the paper using distress inks tea dye and brushed corduroy. Copics used: Thanks for taking the time and visiting my blog today! Love & Hugs,

I think it is more like a seasonal card a Winter card and can be used for several occassions. That is also why I didn't use Christmassy colors. I used the Magnolia Tilda image 'Tilda Singing Carole's" and the Alota stamp "Window/Wall" and masked them together.
