A Christmas card in February!!!

It's a first for me!

I've just made my first Christmas card for 2016.  No, I'm not being super efficient.  I simply had an idea for a card to enter the Craft Barn's weekly challenge - Triplets.  I remembered that I had some wacky stockings which would form the focal point of my card.  

What do you think?



It was a really fast card to make:

  • I cut out the stockings using Spellbinders' Stocking Trio.  I stencilled through the dies with a chalky white ink.
  • The garland is from Spellbinders' Victorian Tassels, decorated with the fallaway from Crystalline Border by Memory Box.
  • The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.
  • And the finishing touch was some twinkly stickles!
Thank you for visiting.

  2. Way too early for me to think about Christmas again but, yes, it's a lovely design and no garish green or red so you get bonus points from me!
