Well, it's been another hot day today and the clothes out in the laundry were calling out to be done. I started early and finished hanging out the last load about 4.30 p.m. I also washed the dishes and sorted out several boxes of craft. My lounge room is very slowly getting back to normal. I still have a folding table in the middle of the room with lots of containers overflowing and also boxes and bags on the floor. I have so many bits of paper with embroidery patterns and copies of projects etc it is going to take me forever to get them into folders. I also sorted out several boxes of beads, I need more containers, LOL. I think I should have made a New Year's Resolution not to buy any beads this year and to use up my stash. I still have another very large container with beads in but I think I will leave that until some of these other boxes are sorted.
I know, LOL. I admit it, I need help, I am a Craftaholic!!!!
Well, onto my card for today.
I decided to make a Christmas card, I think this is the second one for this month and hopefully if I keep on track I won't have to stress at the end of the year!
The basecard is SU Real Red then a layer of SU Old Olive, The two DP's are from My Mind's Eye and the second one is layered onto a red piece as is the image.
The stamp is a House Mouse one and was inked in SU Basic Grey and coloured with Copic Markers. I stamped the paisley shape in Real Red and then cut it out and tied a little silver tree charm to it. To finish it off I added 3 pieces of bling to the corners and one to the little flower in the middle of the paisley shape. I decorated the inside with a white piece and a piece of red and a piece of DP. The sentiment is from SU clear mount set Beautiful Season.
