Todays IC307 is to take our inspiration from the lovely English shop, Liberty. Lots of gorgeous stuff there, and most especially the china, which I must revisit when I have time! However, for today I chose this Grim Up North mug http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product...w-Tanner/64221 I was drawn to the cross stitch look and immediately thought of this BasicGrey dp.
My card is made with this month's Our Daily Bread designs Elegant Oval Frames and the sentiment is from Christmas Door (a set I really really love!) I stamped the frame with Garden Green and the sentiment with Real Red. The base is Mark's Finest Papers Kraft, then the cream layer is Papertrey Vintage Cream embossed with a snowflake border from Cuttlebug. My panels are cut from dp from BasicGrey Nordic Holiday pad, punched at the bottom with an EK Success punch, and then I stitched around each panel. The ribbon is seam binding tied and I added a sweet little button with some hemp twine.

Sweet Grace, this is most lovely! Your stitched banners make a perfect background for this gorgeous sentiment. Love the country Christmas feel of your ribbon and twine. Just beautiful! LYMI
