Basic Grey Challenge

 The theme for the Basic Grey Challenge this time is the 3 S's (scallops, stitching, swirls)

We are sponsored by


A very simple card from me this time, as we have had a lot of personal stuff going on.  I stamped the bauble in green and cherry cobbler ink and cut it out.  Having punched the border, I stitched the dp, and then threaded some gold thread through the paper and hung the bauble.  Finally I added the swirl corner accent and stamped the sentiment.

Supplies: 
 Colouring medium: SU ink
Papers: Basic Grey Jovial 12x12"
Embellishments: twine from stash
Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Ironworks motifs, Martha Stewart border punch

Challenges:
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Crafty Catz - anything goes  
Dutchdare - favourite things
 (Basic Grey papers, Clearly Besotted stamps)
2 Sisters - use a favourite Christmas stamp
Sweet Stampin - anything goes
Crazy for - inspired by a favourite Christmas Carol (Deck the halls)
