A little bit Pickled!

Hello there and thanks for popping in, hope you're having a good weekend, albeit probably a cold and damp one!

Not had an awful lot of time to hang out at my craft desk this weekend, and the "puppy prep" continues, and also though it was about time to get "Pickling" too. My Mother had an Uncle who always did the most amazing Pickled Onions, and its been something that I've wanted to do, in the run up to Christmas, for a few years now but always leave it too late - Well, I'm happy to report that three jars are now safely stored in my shed.....couldn't resist taking a photo of one of them first though!

 

 I did do a bit of colouring one evening, earlier in the week and I did managed to get as far as making one card at least, with one of the images.

                     

Have used the very lovely Milton from Wild Rose Studio, and have coloured him with the old promarkers, and layered the image using Go Kreate Scalloped Circle die. For the embossed sections I have used a Cuttlebug folder, which seems to be a popular one this time of year, the paper is from Bo Bunny. The sentiment is stamped onto a MB label die to which I added the top section of a Sizzix Key die (I would like to say I did this to add creative flair, but in truth it was added to cover up a hole where I had added a brad, but changed my mind, hehehe). The green ribbon and the candi are from my stash, the red gingham ribbon was a bit of a find in Asda - £1 for three metres.
