Don't you just find inspiration in the strangest of places?
Well mine today came from an Asda clothes label, it was in Black and Grey and I liked the muted shades, thinking the grey was far less harsh that using white.
The stamps used are Aspire by Penny Black and a foilage stamp from Impression Obsession.


Attention to Detail...

I used the ScorPal and the Scor-Bug Embosser to make the pierced holes around the edges of the card,





The blossom was coloured with a grey Promarker to match the card.





Boxing Day Tradition

It has long been a tradition in our Family to invade my Mother and Father in Laws house for tea on Boxing Day, play with the children, give out presents of those we don't see Christmas Day, good food and banta.
This year was no different as far as the invasion goes and at one point there was 16 of us chatting, laughing, eating and playing with the childrens toys.
Below is a photo of Nellie and John with the Great Grand Children.

Medallion Card and Gift Tag

I got the Medallion Stamp from Stampin Up and it was just itching to be inked ha ha.
Stamped in the top left corner of a 14 x 14cm card then some pearls added for embellishment.
I decided to make a matching gift tag, the tag is embossed at the bottom with the Victorian Cuttlebug folder then the inkpad swiped over the top to add the colour. I also stamped the top of the tag with the medallion stamp.


Supplies
Medallion Stamp - Stamping Up, Oval Stamp and Punches - Stampin Up, Ink and Ribbon - Papertrey Ink (Shade Berry Sorbet), Pearls from my own stash
Gift tag - Post Office Cuttlebug folder - Victorian
