"Hanging The Stockings"


When I learned that I was the winner of a free digi from Mo Manning I was so jazzed! I love Mo's digi art! She is able to capture the moments in our lives that we remember. This digi called 'hanging stockings' is my winners choice. It brought back so many memories for me. I colored my image with Copics, added some Spica pen for sparkle and I added some glitter to the stockings. The snowflakes came from a garland from the Dollar Store. The garland was really ugly, but it had the prettiest iridescent card stock doves. So I bought the garland and punched the snowflakes with my Mari Anne die, they really look elegant and have amazing sparkle. The inside sentiment is from SU and the boarder is a MS punch. I add a glitzy stocking to finish off my card. Thanks to Mo's for my free digi! I love it and will use it many times in the future! The movie I am thinking of for this card is "The Night Before Christmas"
I am entering this card at the following challenges:

This card is sooooo cute and what a lot of colouring on it but beautifully done. It reminds me of childhood days, even the dog looking on.

I never thought to buy garland and repurpose it like that! I am off to the dollar store tomorrow cause I "need" more stuff! Very nicely colored, I love all of the fireplace images out there.
