I know its Wednesday but Hubby and I snuck away overnight on Monday for a little trip up north to Dumfries to see our lovely friends Janet and Chris - so here I am late again!Tags over on the TIOT challenge so here is mine - Clover and watermelon adirondack inks and a little faux bleach with water - overstamped with a paperartsy sprig stamp and then a blonde moments bauble embossed and added. Some gold backing paper and a huge ribbon and its done. Do stop by the challenge blog here to see my team mates work.
Here is a couple of pressies I can share with you following a pattern by Joanne Wardle here
I just missed out the pocket and added some crochet flowers - thanks Mum!
I think these are fab for token gifts - just beware I got my bottles from the £1 shop - I bought these 2 then a few weeks later bought another 2 and the second 2 are fatter and a little larger than these so I need to make some pattern adjustments - shame I had already made the covers! now I need to do some speed knitting to get them finished!
Your tag is just luscious and luxurious. Sounds like you had a good fun week-end away well deserved. Did you see that you won the Craft-Room Random draw? email me to find out more XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteOw how I've missed "making" pressies for people. I think that's why it hasn't felt right for the past few years. I an so going to make stuff next year!! Thanks for the festive inspiration :D XXX
