XMAS POUCH FOR DUTCH DARE
{Thanks to Fiona Whitehead from 'Diva Stamping'}
Whilst blog hopping I stumbled upon Fiona's blog where she had these cute and practical pouches displayed. Instantly I fell in love with them (once again the practical soul in me popped) as they are such handy items to put a small gift in, not only as a Xmas gift, but a gift for any occasion. Not letting any grass grow under my feet I left a comment for Fiona, humbly and drooling, asking whether she perhaps have the template. With the speed of cyber lightning, Fiona emailed me with the template. Thank you so much Fiona, this is one template that is definitely going to be used quite often.
I have entered my creation for this week's Xmas Card Challenge #18 over at Dutch Dare Card Challenge.
So here is my first attempt.
Recipe:
Deep Racy Raspberry ColorMates Cardstock
Medium Fairy Tale Pink ColorMates Cardstock
The collage sentiment was created with MSE Christmas Clear Rubber Stamps
Archival Ink - Maroon
'Happy Holidays' metal tag from Eyelet Outlet
Thank you for stopping by and don't hesitate to leave a comment with your email address if you are also perhaps drooling over the pouch template and I will get it off to you asap.
