THE STOCKINGS WERE HUNG

Good morning, it is early on Saturday and I have been awake since 4 am. I figured I might as well get up and check out my favorite blogs and challenges. I had finished this card a few days ago so I might as well get it posted. It is a Christmas card and only my 5th one. I am so far behind. I really believe it is going to be store bought for a lot of my Christmas card list. I normally send out 50 to 60 cards a year.  And 5 doesn't even come close. Oh well, what can you do? This card is pretty simple and clean. It would be easy to reproduce if I had lots of time to spare. It is a stamp that was bought at Hobby Lobby in the clearance section last year. The gold paper is The Paper Studio. The sentiments are a Michaels clear $1 stamp set. The stockings were colored with copics E20, E21, E24 BLACK 100. The red is spica red glitter pen, I colored over all of the stockings with a coordinating glitter pen. The bling is from my stash as is the ribbon. The card base is actually a blank card that my sister gave me several sets of, and I did not know what I would do with them because of there size.  I really like the way this card turned out. So, I will try to put together a few more of them soon.
