Downton Abbey

One of the great things about the holidays is having the time to catch up with all the series that you enjoy watching. I absolutely love Downton Abbey  and I devoured all nine episodes of Season 4 during that time. I'm now on the prowl for the season 5 DVD but unfortunately none of the shops seem to have received stock of it yet. (Season 6 is airing at the moment on our pay for view channel but as we don't have that I'll just have to keep checking for when it comes into the stores.)

The new cue at Casology is
 
 
I decided to do gifts which are waiting to be opened.
 
 
I tore the topper and paper with the help of my edger ruler. It gives a more controlled edge to the torn page.
 
 
Supplies:
Pattern: 101 ideas for embroidery on paper by Erica Forgtens
Thread: All colours and brands unknown
Card stock: 160gsm in white and pink
Paper: Scraps of green embossed and gold scrap book paper
Jef Paper Tear edger
