For my card I am using Verve's Beyond Measure stamp set. I love the whimsical look of the inspiration photo. I decided to combine a mixture of pattern papers that I had in my stash to play off the different colors of stocking and bedding. I stamped and gold embossed the sentiment onto a piece of vellum.
I felt like the vellum needed a little something so I die cut another piece and wrapped some gold threading around. I thought the sentiment on vellum added to the white stockings with touches of detail. I added a red and white bow. I finished my card with some Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix. I am playing along with this week's MOJOMonday Sketch!
