Here's something that's absolutely nothing to do with card making but it is Christmas related.
I decided I would make some handmade Christmas presents this year for a young lady that is just embarking on a new hobby.....Sewing so in addition to her main present I made her a needle case, a patchwork pin cushion and a pin pot.
The pin pot I made from an empty Avon skin cream pot.
I forgot to photograph the needle case but it was made in matching Laura Ashley fabrics.
This a project I have been meaning to do for months and this afternoon I finally got round to actually doing it. It's a gift for somebody I know who's birthday is coming up very soon.
I must remember to tell her not to position it in direct sunlight or it will fade quite quickly.
I do hope she likes it.
I created this by sponging on rather a lot of ink then stamping over the sponging using the lovely as a tree stamp set in black craft ink. (both available from stampin' up)
the inks I used were called daffodil delight, Pumpkin pie, real red and Cherry cobbler.
