Of Course I Hung My Stockings




I'm breaking Stella out for my Day 4 Card for The 12 Days of Christmas at Catch The Bug. The theme for day 4 is to add a bird to your project. I admit,I had to get creative with this one!

My card uses the Sketch at Skipping Stones Designs for the layout. I used this fun Christmas image of the oh so wonderful Stella and matching sentiment, from Bugaboo Stamps. She is colored with Promarkers. I went with non traditional colors this time. I found these fun papers in my stash and new they'd make a great card! Stella looks wonderful in purples and blues, doesn't she? The purple and white trim and the metal snowflake brad are also from my stash. I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch out these pretty doves then embossed them with the Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder. Once embossed, I inked them with blue pearlescent ink. (Told you I had to get creative to be able to add a bird to my project!) The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I attached the image, the birds and the sentiment with foam mounting tape for dimension
