It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland, our theme for you this week is Christmas Stockings and I've made another traditional card:
I am still on a mission to use all of the kits that I bought when I first started crafting and this decoupage image is from a kit that I bought from Create and Craft. Of course I couldn't use it as it was intended - I have cut the image out and layered it onto some gold mirri, I have embossed some cream card stock recycled from an old Christmas card and also recycled an old sentiment. The red base layer is some flocked card stock that was also in the kit and the red holly leaves are from another kit that I have had for ages, the gems are from my stash.
This week we have two fabulous sponsors
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Desert Islands Crafters Challenge 52 - Itinerary (1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10)
LEJ Designs Challenge 49 - Emboss It
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
