Welcome back to another challenge from Color Dare. Shh,, don't tell hubby but this is actually his Christmas card. I'm safe to show it as he never reads my blog and I'm not even sure he really understands blogland!
I used Toffee Sage and Periwinkle style colours for my card and I'm really pleased how it turned out as they aren't my usual colours for christmas.
I used Tim Holtz CMS313 Carved Christmas for my main image of the stocking. I kept it simple with that soft blue colour. The background behind has the same stamp which has been stamped in the toffee colour, spritzed with water then added to water colour card stock to give a soft impression of the same stocking. I used the same blue to add colour to that layer. The layer behind that was simply stamped with a stamp from Tim Holtz CMS 142 Mini Holidays - using the holly stamp just around the edges.
The foliage has all been made with Tim Holtz thinlets Holiday Greetings Mini. I added a bow made from Sizzix and a piece of Ideaology to finish off the card.
I'm adding this into the following:
