Gifts

This is probably the only card that I'll be making this week as I will shortly be on my way to Bath to look after my two grandchildren whilst my daughter is skiing in Chamonix with her company! I think many team building activities are planned, but I'm sure there'll be lots of fun as well. Meanwhile her loft conversion will continue and this is the week when the ceiling is due to come down and the new stairs installed. She can certainly pick her time away!

Anyway this card is for a few challenges!

and 
The tab is cut with a Spellbinders die and the image is a downloadable colouring page from the internet, coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.
The colours on this card have turned out rather deeper than they really appear, the sentiment from All Occasion Dies, is really a lovely shade of teal.

  9. Your pieces of art are always enjoyed and today I must comment on how beautifully you created a 'platform' for your stack of gifts. Fabulously 'inventive' and definitely a CAS method! Thanks for sharing your talents and enjoy your grandkids...you certainly do have an excellent planner for a daughter.

  11. Elegant simplicity, Chrissie! Colors are perfect for either a male or female recipient, and I love that texture. Good luck with those challenges! Good luck also with your grand kiddos! I love it when my daughter-in-law travels for business, as Grandma is called to duty and I get to spent uninterrupted time with my grands! Have fun!
