Peace On Earth Challenge #43

Happy 'almost' 4th of July!!
It is once again time for a new challenge at Peace On Earth
and as always our theme is ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS!
In keeping within the month of July I created this fun
red~white~blue somewhat patriotic mood board for inspiration,
BUT, it can be anything you like as long as it is Christmas themed!

 

I decided to let the fun mood board inspire me and went with the RWB colors
for my card.  I used a die that has become a very favorite one of mine
for the holidays, a stocking die from Sizzix.  It's such a fun die in that you can
create just about any kind of stocking your heart desires!
I used a Memory Box Stencil Star Dust stenciled with Memento Dew drop inks
Lady Bug and Danube inks.  In the stocking is a spray of stars
die cut with Sue Wilson Star Spray dies.

The background paper is from Mintay and die cut with Cottage Cutz Wonky Rectangle die.
The sentiment is stamped from Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Sentiments.
A few sequins were added for color and a bit of shimmer.

Won't you join us with our fun challenge at
Peace On Earth?
  It gives you an opportunity to get ahead on your holiday cards!
Speaking of, we also have a year round Halloween Challenge
Two Old Bats

fun Halloween supplies year round!!
