Viva la Christmas! {VLV October Week 2}


Hooray! Christmas is coming and I am ready to craft! Christmas is my favourite time of year. Last weekend I managed to buy some new craftin' goodies, at a local store. I picked up the new Teresa Collins Christmas paper...wow! LOVE the gold! It is called Tinsel & Company.


Loved the simple sketch over at the Verve blog which inspired me to make this pretty flower from the Lean on Me Set into a poinsettia! I inked it up with red and then using a dark brown Copic marker, I flicked little markings onto it to give it some depth.


The sentiment comes from Memory Box and is one of my favourites...I love how elegant it is! I am always a sucker for a scripty font! I cut out the bloom and popped it up on my card. Then I decided to use the pieces left over to decorate a matching gift bag. The gift bag comes from SRM.


{Supplies Used}
Stamps: Verve
Inks: Memento Ink and Copics
Papers: Teresa Collins, Kraft & White
