Hi, Friends!
It's time once again for the Paper Sweeties Monthly Challenge!
This month's WINNER will receive a $100 gift certificate for a shopping spree at Paper Sweeties!!! Sadly, Paper Sweeties will be discontinuing hosting the monthly challenges in 2018, so let's make this month's challenge the BEST ever and go out with a BANG!! Share with your crafty friends!!
How are those Christmas preparations coming along? I'm doing my best with the hustle and bustle of the season. And, I'm wishing for you a blessed holiday season filled with peace and joy!
I was inspired by the stockings in the inspiration photo. I had lots of fun making this card! I got out my neglected sewing machine and added stitching for more interest. The stripes on the stocking caught my eye, too. You can be inspired by the words, colors, image, etc...anything goes! Without further delay...here is my card...
For my card, I started with a cream card base and paired it with brown. I sponged the next panel with vintage photo and added stitching. The stockings were die cut using Sweet Cuts-Stitched Tags #3-stocking/present. I added Nuvo gold drops to the stockings for interest. Bows were added with seam binding ribbon- Frosting. The sentiment is from the set Stand Add-on: Manger. A border above the sentiment was die cut with gold using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders. Sequins(Strawberry) to finish the card.
