I had a few stockings left over from my earlier card and decided to make another card using them up. I turned the sketch through 90° so that I could hang the stockings from the mantle!! I attached two of the stockings directly to the card base, but added some dimensional tape to the third. I used both sides of the design paper on this card. I carried the green on with some green elements on the stockings and a simple sentiment in the corner of the card. For the inside I used Spellbinder Labels 18 dies to cut a backing panel and a panel for the sentiment. I've also taken a close-up of the stockings to show the different glitters used - fine on the dotty stocking and chunky on the top of the texty stocking.That's all for now - I've had a fun morning playing in my craft room and now I'd better make a start on some of the ironing. Before I go, thanks so much for the lovely comments on my photos. There's so much to learn, but I'm having fun. Bye!!

You are on top form at the moment Deborah - thanks for joining in again with this gorgeous card at 52CCT - Jacqueline xx
Wish I had got that SU paper! Love what you have done with it.
Bet your happy about Andy Murray being in the Aust. Open final.
Another gorgeous card, Deb!!! LOVE the stockings--and the paper is amazing! Thanks for joining us again this week at 52CCT! :)
I love your take on this sketch...so pretty!
Cute Christmas card Deb! Love the MFT stockings and the cheerful color combination!
I enjoyed the Christmas card in your last post but this is my favourite. I think I love groups of three stockings hanging up, not just because of the design 'rule of three' but also because I have three children who hang their stockings in front of the fireplace each year! That ironing will be keeping you warm! Vicky x
I wish it would have occurred to me to turn the sketch all the way over - it's PERFECT to hang things!! So glad to see you at CAS(E) this Sketch!
Deborah, this is so fun and festive and these stockings are just amazing.
Traditional color combo with a fun look; the stockings made me smile. You will be ready in time looking how you started this year with your Christmas cards:)
Apologies for my horrible English but I hope you know what I mean:)
Love those sweet stocking and your fab take on the sketch! Thanks for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
