Birthday gift to a friend

Hi everyone, I thought I would show you the gift I sent to my friend Angela (no blog) I decided to make a pretty little pillow trimmed in white ribbon and swarovski crystals. Angela has let me know she has recieved my gift and I am glad to say she likes it! 

The picture above shows the wrapping paper and gift tag I made using images from The Graphic Fairy blog here The wrapping paper can be found under Wallpaper on the link provided, I then edited the paper in Picasa 3 to write the greetings.

The gift tag was made using an image also from The Graphics Fairy, not sure which section I got this one from though. All I did was print the image onto transfer paper and cut out the shape, I then sandwiched a small piece of felt in between and trimmed with dmc handmade cord. 

Here is the pillow, the cross stitch pattern is a freebie from Martines Blog  here just keep scrolling down the page and you will see it there. If you would like to see it made in pink see my previous post here.

White hand made polymer clay roses sprinkled with glitter, bow trimmed with

swarovski crystals.

I show how to make this bow on my tutorials blog here
