Pink presents

I finally finished my pig inspired by Wee Wonderfuls. This one is going to my mom, and I think I will make a brown one for my own tree.

And here is a new fabric silhouette painting series that I am really in love with. This idea comes from Anna Maria (see my previous post about these paintings). I had a lot of fun with these! I knew the paint would bleed a little around the tape, which gave me the imperfect circle shape I was looking for. Before and after pictures:

Christmas Cards

This year I finally decided to make the Christmas cards that I have been wanting to make for so long, design inspired by Martha Stewart. I like mine better, actually :)

I sewed the satin and grossgrain ribbon onto the paper with a metallic red thread. Then I got a slightly larger piece of watercolor paper and painted red around both sides. When it was dry I glued the tree on on side. On the other side I used my Vintage Alphabet Stamps to write " XOXO, C AND J"(as in Chloe and John). It says it all.
