GDT at TTCRD

Good Morning,

I was so thrilled to be asked to be GDT at Through the Craft Room Door for this month. Theme this month is a nice easy one:

Anything Goes


Our sponsor this month is

For my Anything Goes card I have used the super cute Tilda with little Snowy from the new A Lovely Christmas Collection. I have coloured her up using Distressed Markers.


I haven't got my distressed makers out for ages so it was a bit daunting at first but I think I soon got the hang of it again.  


All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts & the berries, bells & bark star from Live & Love Crafts


The inside is made to mimic the outside
