Thought the title was quite appropriate from a dark, damp and dreary North East of England. It’s been a yuk weekend so far, not that I am bothered as I am flat out with DT work, never went across the doors yesterday and instead played in my craft room all day.
I’m back to me pastels again and I think this card could work for “babies first Christmas”. I’ve used the Lili of the Valley paper pads (neither are Christmas but I thought the papers in the Bonnets & Bowties and Petal Fresh pads worked for this card). The stamp is Teddy with Robin and the sentiment is from the Christmas Handwritten Phrases set.
The cottage rose, sweetheart blossoms, baby’s breath flowers and organza ribbon is from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I will be back at 5 with a card for the Whimsy Stamps blog hop, and in the meantime I have a roast beef dinner and strawberry pavlova to prepare for family and my most fave friend.
