Christmas With All the Trimmings

October 1, 2011 by mona99

I decided to combine this weeks Clean and Simple sketch and Just Add Ink’s colour Challenge.

I thought the two would work well with my new Stocking Punch and Stitched Stocking stamp set. I started with a base card made from Pool Party cardstock. I then added a layer of embossed Whisper White cardstock, followed by a strip of Pool Party cardstock. I then added a layer of Whisper White Cardstock that had a piece of Scalloped Trimmed Pool Party adhered to the bottom. I then added a strip of Calypso Coral. Next, I stamped three stocking which I punched out and then I punched out a Pool Party, Whisper White and Crumb Cake Stockings. I adhered the tops of the stocking to the stamped stocking and the toe and heel to the Calypso Coral stocking. I added the stocking to the card using foam pads. I then added the stamped sentiment from Contempo Christmas, mounted on a piece of Pool Party cardstock. To finish off the card, I added a border, which I should have done before I stuck everything down, since it’s a bit wonky. Now its a bit rustic.

Stamps: Contempo Christmas, Stitched Stocking
Paper: Whisper White , Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
Ink: Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Accessories: Stocking Punch, Large Snowflake embossing folder, foam pads, Cameo Coral marker
