Gifts at Christmas Card Club

Hello there! I hope you are well and happy and enjoying the bank holiday weekend! I've scheduled this post - when it goes live I may well be swimming in Lake Windermere!!! I'm going for a try before you buy wetsuit session! The idea is wild swimming - I'll let you know how it goes! Nice idea anyway!!! Well it floats my boat!

The theme from the lovely Zoe at Christmas card club this fortnight is gifts. Well I have taken the theme rather literally and made three money holders/gift cards!


All the stamps are from the lovely Mr holtz and of course my course from Marjie kemper is showing through here!!!


The distress palette is weathered wood, faded jeans and tumbled glass. Very pleased with these!
Thanks Zoe for your inspired choice!!!


Hope you have a great Sunday!

Hugs

Rachel xx
