Vase Filled

Here is the complete gift for my mom - who is turning 80.
Vase filled
The "flowers" are candy coated spoons -- there are 5 different "bouquets" all different flavors, 1. chocolate with marshmellows, 2. chocolate with mint, 3. chocolate with white chocolate, 4. butterscotch, 5. chocolate, white chocolate and butterscotch. The are for dipping in coffee or hot chocolate or just eating!

I am really hoping she likes this!

KWerner Color Challenge

In the worlds of Everclear (Warning: obscure song by obscure band reference but it has been running through my head this morning!) "Here we go again... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... I know you had your doubts, I know you think I am crazy, I know your just like me!" here is my KWerner challenge. Yes I WAS going to spend all evening making gifts for my friends YES I did get distracted by this challenge. But it is TOO fun! Here are the colors that Kristin chose this week -- -for me it was a challenge! These colors are suppose to go together? hmmmm. Did I mention I LOVE these challenges.

The card uses Bazzil Paper and Ribbon I forget the patterned paper brand. The Santa stamp is from Oriental Trading and the Letters are Studio G wooden letters. This is colored in with a combination of Tim Holtz inks (with the SU blender pen), Koh-i-nor pencils with mineral spirits and liquid applique. Brads, floss and a decorative eyelet round it out.
