I used a digital stamp “Stockings” from All Dressed Up Stamps. The digital stamp was released just last month, isn’t he cute. So, check it out.

Now, let’s talk about this card.

• You need a piece of white cardstock measuring 15,5 centimetres by 21 centimetres. Score at the 21-centimetre side at 10,5 centimetres. You now have your card base.
• A piece of green cardstock to die-cut from.
• A piece of 200-gram DCP paper to print your digital image on.

I printed my image on 200-gram DCP paper. I coloured the digital stamp with my alcohol markers. I used the following colour combinations:

• The dog and the cat: Tawny (106), Hazelwood (108), Walnut (100) and Clay (116).
• Shadow: Blue Grey 1 (BG1) and the Colorless Blender (0)
• Bird: Blue Grey 5 (BG5), Blue Grey 3 (BG3), Blue Grey 1 (BG1) and Colorless Blender (0).
• Leaves: Forest Green (50), Grass Green (47) and Weeds Green (162).
• Berries and other red parts: Wine Red (01), Burgundy (247), English Red (249) and Cardinal (244).

I wanted a frame on my card to put the stockings on. So, I die-cut this frame out of green card stock. The die itself is not exactly a frame die. But it gives on the inside a stitched border. I cut along this stitched border to get it a frame. I put the frame with some foam tape on the base of the card.

I glue the socks on the frame and put some foam tape on the socks. I missed some bling, so I decided to glue some golden stars on the leaves and on the base card.

I stamped my sentiment “Merry Christmas” with black ink and finished the card.
