EBKS

I loved the color challenge at Everything but the Kitchen Sink blog this week. It is so unique and versatile, and I knew what I wanted to do with it, but had to get some Christmas tags created over the weekend.

With news of a family member passing away yesterday, it was high on my priority list today  and was a work of  love.

Here it is:


My great-uncle passed; he was 94.  He had a rich and wonderful life and was married to my great-aunt for 72 years.  She passed away in August, so his passing did not come as a surprise.  But still, when our older relatives leave us, a bit of our childhood goes with them, don't you think?  This is for his daughter.  I need to create one for his son that is a bit more on the masculine side.  Hope to get to that tomorrow.

Here's the inspiration from Everything but the Kitchen Sink.  I'm glad I was able to get this in on time.  It's such an inspirational photo.  Thanks to Kelly Marie @ Lawn Fawn Stamps for the great photo and prize for this week!


Thanks for looking!


Supplies:

Stamps: Flower Garden, Round and Round(Papertrey Ink)
Paper: Ocean Tides, Stampers Select (PTI), Bazzill mat stack
Ink:  Smokey Shadow (PTI), Versamark
Other: Zing white embossing powder, random ribbon that I wish I had more of
