I stamped a small flourish on the front and a larger one on the back from the Swirly Gig set using
Noir PH ink. Hubby drilled the holes for the flowers. I used Ivory Cardstock Strips and green rhinestones around the base.

On this side I stamped a phrase from the Be Still set.

How do you like the "visitor"? I purchased him in a pack of 4 and decided to use orange because the dots in the swirls are orange.

I have to admit it was a real bugger to paint the swirls. I used a very fine tipped paint brush. The dots were created using a tooth pick!
I hope to hear from the daughter soon as to what she thinks of this. I may have to make another for me!! Did you have a good Christmas? What a blessed week I've had! My brother and sister-in-law were here and we had a good time! My sil sang at our local church along with a few others on Wednesday night - tremendous blessing! I praise God for family!!
