Soooo Special Tilda

Good morning peeps,
OMG it's sooooooo cold, it snowed virtually all day here yesterday, thankfully it didn't settle in town but the hills all around us are snow covered.
I've just realised it's the last day of the month & I haven't got my 3 January Christmas cards blogged for Hjerteboden's Juleblogg challenge, as I plan on joining the lovely ladies there through the year as I did last year as it's a big help to keep going with the Christmas cards throughout the year.
The challenge at Hjerteboden's this month is to make 3 Christmas cards, 1 of which must be shaped, and my other 2 can be seen HERE and HERE.
Ingredients -
Image - Magnolia Special Tilda (no longer available, but I'm able to use her thanks to a couple of lovely friends xx) & Christmas background
Medium - Copics
Papers - Magnolia
Sparkle - Glamour dust glitter & paint
Flowers - Prima, Wild Orchid, Kort & Godt & Memory Box
Other - snowtex, Make It Crafty gingerbread man, Blue Moon pearl beads
Tools - Nesties, Magnolia Doo Hickey snowflake & spruce, Heat tool, embossing powder

The Copic colours I've used are - 
skin - E000, E11, E00, R30, R20, hair - E27, E31, E50, hat & scarf - BV04, BV02, BV00, BV000, top & skates - C00, C1, C3, trousers - C5.C3,C1
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Hjerteboden's Juleblogg - 3 Christmas cards, 1 must be shaped, Lollipop Crafts - anything goes, Make It Monday & Inspire Me Friday - anything goes linky party, Pollycraft - favourite things (Magnolia's), The Crazy Challenge - flowers, Christmas Card Challenges - fav technique (stamping & copic colouring), Gingerloft - let it snow, Robyn's Fetish - make it sparkle, Stamptacular - diamonds or peals, Crazy 4 Challenges - layer it on, Delicious Doodles - Winter wonderland, Hotshot Craft - flowers, Ditzy-craftymess - anything goes, Jellypark Friends - Winter wonderland, Stampin' For The Weekend - embossing, Paper-Crafting Journey - floral

That's it from me peeps, I have masses of Simon Says Stamp DT comments to leave, I've made it to 500 so I've still hundreds to get through, typing fingers at the ready lol.
Thanks for stopping by
