Guest designer spot on Sparkles

I was priveleged to be asked to be a guest designer for today on Sparkles Christmas card challenges blog for challenge 33.

We were given this picture as inspiration:

I used a digi fireplace background, importing the actual fire into the picture.

The stockings were stamped with a stamp that I received last year as a prize for a challenge. They are attached with brads, so they can be moved from side to side, so they hang. Santa's hat and the chipboard snowman were added to the left and right stockings; the middle stocking has used the entire stamp with the doll sticking out of the top.

It's an A5 card because it needed to be large enough to show the stockings hanging in the fireplace.

I very much enjoyed being part of Sparkles team for today. Please go over and have a look at the super crafting of the regular team. And, if you haven't yet started making your Christmas cards, perhaps you will be inspired to do so.
