A little card to remember the kindness of friends.

As I imagine many of us have been doing, I have cleared the decks of all the Christmas supplies [don't worry they are close at hand] and in doing so found a few lovely gifts from friends - a beautiful Eucalyptus set from Marcia, and a lovely, embossed vellum doily from Stephanie!  They came together beautifully... 

Aren't these the perfect ink colors for that Eucalyptus?

The sentiment is one from Pinkfresh Studio's Fancy Script Words hot foil plates and dies.


You spoil me - I have such lovely friends - I've linked how each of them used these items in the past.   Thank you, dear ladies, for your generous hearts and beautiful inspiration!

Oooh, such wonderful gifts from lovely friends! I hardly notice the vellum on the white card base. It simply looks like a real deal crochet doily! It makes a beautiful backdrop for the eucalyptus, which appear as though the branches were laid down for a moment awaiting arrangement. The colors are perfect!
