A Special Edition Tilda - Paper Play DT Card

Good morning peeps,
I am seriously missing having time to craft with hubby being home and wanting me to drive him places, hopefully it won't be long and he'll be able to ride his motorbike again & I can get some peace lol. It's his birthday tomorrow & I've not even made his card yet, luckily I made some DT cards in advance but I have only made one card in just over a week which is soooooo not on lol.
I do have some good news, I know some of you claim to not like the "H" word but I enjoy it & I've bought some beeswax polish for my solid oak furniture and OMG it's the best £1.49 I've ever spent, it brings it up a treat I can't stop looking at it, it brings a smile to my little face, yes I know little things please little minds I get told often enough lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is
If you are thinking this is de-je-vous scroll down one post & you're right, I'm playing with buttons again lol.
My card today has a special little lady on, she is a limited edition Tilda & she's so gorgeous I just had to adopt her, well it would have been rude not too lol.
Ingredients -
Image - Magnolia
Medium - Copics
Papers - Magnolia & Pion
Flowers - Magnolia, Kort & Godt, Prima & Wild Orchid
Charms - Darice
Sentiment - Magnolia
Pearls - Hero Arts
Sparkle - Crystal glamour dust & Diamond stickles

Now do you see why I had to adopt her lol. If anyone wants to buy her I believe she is only available from  HERE, & I will say they provide a fab service, she arrived quicker than some UK stores ship their orders out.
The silver berries were in my prize from Magnolia Sweden, the silver twirly is homemade, and the postmarks are Lili Of The Valley stamps, anything else is from my stash.
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Just Magnolia - Christmas, Sketch & Stash - sketch, Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - jingle all the way
That's me done peeps, I need to go get washed & dressed as I've a friend coming for coffee soon, so I'll be back later.
Thanks for stopping by

Aw, what a lovely card, Mandy. As always, you do white cards so very well - I love all the textures and doily/lacy details. Am chuckling at you leaving your husband's card until the last moments - it's my DH's birthday tomorrow and all the bits of his card are upstairs drying - I only started it this afternoon!!!
