Holiday and festive Greetings to one and all, with very busy and exciting days ahead. Are you all ready with your planning and arrangements for Xmas and the New Year? Some will be, and others will be in various stages of panic to get it all done. Take a deep breath, enjoy your family around you, and try to "go with the flow".
It will soon be the New Year, so I've gone a bit lighthearted, and called it "Handbags and Bling" - always appropriate for the New Year (and any time really).
The centre picture is coloured with chalks and watercolour pencils, with Glitz in the glasses and on the jewellery. It is edged with decorative silver border, and popped on a Turquoise textures cutout, which is embellished with Turquoise gems.
The background is half pale Turquoise silk DP, and spotted purple DP, with edges of decorative silver border, and white top stitching. The bands are Turquoise centre ribbon, and white lace on purple shimmer paper. Decorative handbags have blue sequins and pink pearls added, and two clear and white embellishments are top and bottom.
So to everyone out there, "Here's to being Gorgeous", and I wish you all good things for Xmas and the New Year, and thank you all for the support I've been given with my cards since I started. HO HO HO!!!!
