Perpetual Birthdays....

Did you wonder what was inside this parcel? 

Well..... It was a Perpetual Birthday Calendar that I made for my mum for Christmas.  Actually I made 3 as gifts, as I decorated each in a slightly different way.

This first one is the one for mum, which I decorated using the embellishments from the pack, but using her favourite colours, Real Red and Bermuda Bay.

This one is for my sister and uses the colours suggested in the kit.

This one is for my mother-in-law, who loves greens and purples and butterflies.

Happy Stamping....Manda xx

Joseph's thanks.....

 

I love being able to reinvigorate a technique that's 'old'..... that is, one that's been around for a while, that everyone has used, but it's still such a cool technique.  It's just needs some new interest.

 

That's what I've done for this collection of challenges..... a tried and true technique that some call Joseph's Coat (because of the variety of colours that are hiding) but is essentially emboss resist.

 

Here's the card....

 

and here's a close up of the Joseph's Coat.

 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges.....
