CAS Christmas May 2019 - STOCKING

Hello friends.  Little cool here in my neck of the woods, so a perfect day to share a couple Christmas cards for the current CAS Christmas Challenge, where they are looking for STOCKINGS!


I have 2 cards to share today because I usually stamp 2 images in case I mess up one of them, and if not, then I have 2 to go into the Christmas stash!  I used a sweet stamp from Avery Elle gifted to me by my dear friend Bonnie called Stockings.


This was such a simple card to do, but I'm really happy with the non-traditional colors and how it turned out!  I simply colored the stockings with my Copics, and then fussy cut and pop dotted to a brick embossed panel.  My 2nd card is the same except I switched up the order of the Copics on the stockings.


The stamp set came with 2 sentiments, so I used them both.  Elegant Eggplant is the color cardstock I layered with and embossed my sentiment banners on.  Easy peasy CAS!  Here's both of them together:


This challenge is open till the 24th, so check out all the wonderful inspiration from the DT and then play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
