It was meant to be a Christmas card ... but ...

With the best intentions, and still afew outstanding Christmas cards to be done, this was meant to be Christmassy, but no.  However I did find patterned paper that fitted the bill for this ColourQ challenge


Then came the design I had to try, didn't feel up to colouring an image for the focal point as was done in the inspiration cards (read laziness into the above statement), so went for a simple flower image. 




This used afew items that have been in my collection for quite some time, always a good thing, so maybe I should set myself a challenge of using up some supplies ...  wonder how long that will last.  

What you need
Cardstock - Bazzill Basics cream;  SU Real Red, Regal Rose, Glorious Green, white
Patterned Paper - Doodlebug Love Blooms
Stamps - PTI Wishing you
Ink - SU Real Red, Green Galore
Ribbon - Kiasercraft
Die - PTI Ric Rac; SB Classic and Scalloped Ovals
Kindyglitz
  We had a great time on our road trip to NSW.  Little Miss LOVED Harry Potter - there wasn't a tonne of stuff to see, which, for children is probably a good thing, but very well put together.  The Jenolan Caves (limestone caves west of Sydney), particularly Carols in the Caves was my highlight though very cold.  But then it is a toss up with a trip to the Donna Hay General Store (one of my favourite chefs).  I think that my purchases from here will have to be my Christmas presents.

  4. Oh, how cute this is! It's so cheery (and I need cheering, the weather has been pretty dismal here). Love the combination of the ribbon and roses (green, yet!)--this would be a wonderful little girl birthday card.
