K for Kept Safe

Good evening, I hope that you have had a happy Wednesday.  I have a card to share for our final midway inspiration for the ABC Christmas challenge. Beginning with our next challenge there will only be the main challenge post. Just in case you have forgotten, the theme of this challenge is

 

Kept Safe

with the idea being to use something that you have been keeping tucked away for just that special project.

 

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

Kenny K with a prize of any 3 digital images from their shop

 

 

This week I opted to create a gift bag, you can never have too many come the holidays. The images from Tickled Pink have been merged together to create this darling Victorian couple who have been coloured using traditional holiday colours to celebrate the holiday season.

 

My Kept Safe item was the lace which I ordered from Wild Orchid Crafts some time ago now. I have been using it sparingly as lace like this has been hard to find locally but it seemed appropriate to use some vintage style lace with this image.

 

The poinsettia has been cut using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and then accented with glitter and a fuzzy center. The little banners could be considered another Kept Safe item, as they were assembled about 6 months ago and have been sitting on the corner of my desk just waiting for a project that suited them.
