This is the card made for a friend's birthday. She has received it already ( but with strict instructions not to open it until her b/day later this week!!)

Initially I pricked the pattern. Then taped the white card stock to a board to prevent warping and lightly inked in the flowers. When they where dry I did the stitching.

Gift wrapping

The holly and ivy Christmas challenge is

'Anything as long as it's Christmas'
so I have decided to share my gift packaging from this Christmas

I always choose a theme and this year it was kraft paper with tartan. I made a simple tag with a a tree die and some dark green card stock. 

I had a little help wrapping the gifts....

.... as well as staging them for the photos.

This feline member of the family is Cleo.
