I haven't been to a Christmas party in years & I'm really looking forward to Thursday night when the staff in my department (we work in 3 different hospitals) all meet at a co-worker's house for a catered dinner. I know she's been working like crazy to have everything ready & has her house all decorated. We're putting together a hostess basket as a thank you. I don't know her all that well, but she's been really kind to me as I continue to try & learn the job. I'm chipping in with some of the gals for a nice bottle of wine, but also had the idea to make her some cards. I love this gorgeous patterned cardstock called Asian Coins (don't know the brand) that I recently got at my LSS & decided it'd be great for some classic note cards. The sentiments from Hero Arts Congrats clear set are stamped in VersaFine Smokey Gray, which I thought went well with all 3 colors. It was a challenge to find matching inks to color the backs of the vellum MS punched butterflies: VersaMagic Malted Mauve, Distress Ink faded jeans & Distress Ink bundled sage. Decided to just tie them with a pretty bow instead of trying to make a holder and I'm really happy with how they turned out. Hopefully she'll like them! Such a busy time of year with Christmas almost here makes it even more special that you took time to visit my blog. Thank you so much.
