Double D Christmas Stocking Challenge

I have a card for Double D's Christmas Stocking challenge!  I know, I know - none of you will believe that I haven't made a grey stocking!  Believe me I would have if I owned a stocking die!   I spent a little more time with that PTI Winter Bench set the moment I remembered the stocking stamp included!  Enough said...

I was inspired to create a 'fireplace and mantle' using a stencil like my friend, and Double D design team member, Leslie Miller!  Out came a Waffle Flower brick wall stencil, the aforementioned stocking, a shelf to use as a mantle with hooks for my stockings, the Joy from the same set, and another TH tree.  All spritzed with TH mica spray to provide a 'glow from the fire!'  Then presented to you as the scene as seen through this wonderful window from The Stamp Market.  The die cuts out the panes of the window which makes it a wonderful cover for a shaker - 

I embossed it with a wide stripe and spritzed with Altenew iridescent 

shimmer spray.

There's still time to hang a stocking of your own!

Thank you so very much for this honor, Double D team!

Winter Bench and other new goodies!

 I had a little time in my studio over the weekend - time spent with these darling PTI Winter Benches again!

I love these arched card bases created with my Waffle Flower Nested Domes dies.

The Winter Bench was 'painted' green here, and rest upon a 'rug' of red - 

do you recognize The Greetery's Large Scallop Ribbon die?

I very nice place to snuggle up with my star gazer!

What I wouldn't give to have this bench on my front porch!

Check out this beautiful Elegant Snowflake Edger - also from PTI.

I have shared this wonderful Poinsettia from The Ton, but

check out my newest inks from The Stamp Market:

from lightest Party, to Fuschia, and the darkest Orchid!

Stickles for stamen, and a bit of Delicata gold stamped script.

BTW my SU! Subtle Texture embossing was used on all three of my cards today!

Okay - one last load to fold!  Thanks for the visit!
