The images are from Clearly Besotted: Naughty or Nice, coated in
glossy accents and left to dry overnight before inking with distress ink
in Blueprint Sketch. The curve detail is created using the MFT Die-namics stitched
border dies to emboss the card base. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays
Last but not least I do love having flowers around at Christmas but whether
they'll be peeping out of my stocking on Christmas morning remains to be seen!
The flower stamps are from Altenew Vintage Flowers and I'm still trying
to get to grips with stamping these intricate flowers. They are beautiful but
quite tricky and time-consuming to line up accurately. Once stamped I masked
the blooms then used some Evergreen Bough Distress Ink to create a wintry
background. The sentiment is from Uniko: All Occasion Sentiments #6
Ok hope you enjoy the challenge and have some fun!
Check out those wish lists and see if you can re-create on card!

ReplyDeleteTrio of beauty!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! In my stocking? it was my very favorite thing as a child... the only think we dared to peek at before my parents were awake!!! Oranges, nuts to crack, most likely stockings, but most definitely peppermint sticks! Thanks for this sweet memory, Sarah. I hope your stocking is an extra large one!
