No pressure, but Christmas is just 2 weeks off, you know.
Here's a card using very traditional colors. I took a stamp that is an image of four stockings in a row (pretty sure it's an old Stampendous image) and stamped it repeatedly to create a design for the background. I used lots of snippets to create red and green letters. The glittery stocking came from the Dollar Store -- I got a whole bag of them .... I think they are supposed to be table confetti but there are perfect for cards. The sentiment is from an Hampton Arts set.
