December at SSR

The latest edition of SSR is live and full of exciting Christmas ideas. My own project this month was some decorations in the form of windmills (pinwheels if you're in the US!) but made in fabric rather than card or paper.





You could hang them individually or, link them together with a beaded chain or ribbons.




I also made a couple of cards, this first one is the size of a postcard, all fabric apart from the embellshment.




This one is a fabric square, on card which has been foiled. The lovely robin fabric was sent to me by a dear friend in Anglesey, (Wales)
I love it, robins are such beautiful birds with lots of character.





This last card was done for this month's challenge, using a stamp by The Stampsmith. This is all card, no fabric involved here at all, apart from the flower of course. The background was made using Twinkling h20s by Luminarte. The colouring with Prismas.
