Here's the inside:
Hey look at that. It's a Christmas card. With stockings. Hmm, looks like I'll be able to enter this for Merry Monday #94 - use a stocking or stockings.
And that design looks familiar. Yep. It's the sketch from Mojo Monday #331:
I'm very happy with how this came out. Mostly because I found stockings in abundance in one of the Christmas collections I have. I used the stickers that came with the paper. I stuck them on scrap paper then fussy cut around them to make them sturdier. Of course, I thought it needed something more, (because there isn't nearly enough layers on this bad boy), so I added a few rhinestones in the corner. Yep. That's much better.
There's still time to play along with both of these challenges, so if you haven't already done so, what are you waiting for? (wink)
I hope that you have a great evening! Thanks for stopping by!
Chris

ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the stockings and a great take on the sketch. I think more is better too, I've yet to make a CAS card well, in fact my SoSS card for Saturday has 3 layers on the inside. lol. FAB job.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Awesome papers and fabulous take on that sketch, my friend. I love the bling you added in the corner, and love the diagonal strip of trim. The kraft base and layers of detail are fabulous, too!

ReplyDeleteI need the 'believe in the magic' stamp to go with my dude in a tutu with a magic wand stamp. But I'll admit it makes a great Christmas greeting too. I really like your Merry Monday card! Very nice!
