Just look at that gorgeous grey linen... not to mention the fabulous edible napkin ornament! *swooning* I'll take two dozen, thank you very much!
I had those lovely Stamplorations Bees Knees Layered Holly stamps on my craft table still... AND the wonderful Joyeux Noel Phrase CUTplorations die! Here is how I was inspired to play along with the November Challenge:
Inside:
Hope your Christmas is just 'the berries!'
Okay... so my purple isn't exactly right - a girl can only have SO many inks, but I do like the texture that is a little like that of the linen napkin! My darling Gull from Shirley's Small Birds set rather liked it!
Here's the first card I made... mind you I did forget the CUT part of the challenge - this guy's heading over to the NEVER ENDING challenge:
Inside:
... let's forget the Holly berries and go straight for the grapes - oh you know just the ones I mean!
Happy to have you stop by again today ... you'll come back tomorrow - I know I've been posting so much, I hope you aren't tired of me! xx

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous Michele and I love your take from the inspiration photo, which is fabulous too by the way! Grey is always a great color to work with isn't it? I also love the linen look too, who doesn't?!! Never thought about tying on a cookie either, but love that idea, so I can' see why you would take two dozen. lol Yep, your takes are fabulous my friend! Hugs, Brenda
