Belleek Inspiration

Back in 2003 my dear Mother-In-Law had just turned 80 years young, she had mentioned that she had always wanted to visit Ireland to see where her grandparents were born and raised. She is such a wonderful woman, so my husband and I made our plans to surprise her with a 10 day trip to Ireland. We had a wonderful time and after visiting the Belleek factory, she surprised me with the gift of this lovely little vase. May card today is to the fond memories made back then in a far away enchanting land.

Papers are SU Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz and Regal Rose.

Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder with Antique Linen ink.

Flowers are hand made using the SU Trio Flower punch and the smallest flower on the MS Hydrangea punch. The centers are 1/8" circles from the Crop-a-dial. Leaves are from the Hero Arts "September" set.

Thanks for looking and I hope you too can someday enjoy the wonder and beauty of Ireland.
