Welcome to another edition of Throwback Thursday having fun playing with old favourites combined with new goodies!
My design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges.
Double Trouble 3-2-1 challenge to use 3 colours, 2 layers and 1 holiday image.
Try a Sketch On Tuesday sketch challenge - couldn’t choose between the two so created one for each.
Sweet Stampin’ Christmas in July.
For design number one I’m getting inky with the sneak peek July exclusive Festive Cheer, Stitched Season DSP and Peaceful Pine ribbon. Current Stylish shapes dies and Fern & Floral 3D embossing folder, rhinestone gems coloured red, Wink of Stella and Real Red and Old Olive ink paired with the Stitched Stockings stamps & punch and unbranded gold twine.
Stitched Seasons DSP Colours: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Real Red, Secret Sea
For design number two I’m getting inky with the leftover Stitched Season DSP scraps from my starburst, Exposed Brick embossing folder and Greetings for All ephemera pack, Wink of Stella paired with the Stitched Stockings stamps & punch, rhinestones coloured red and unbranded gold twine.
Second design sketch featuring 5 little stockings hung by the mantle ready for a Merry Christmas. Love the Wink of Stella on the stockings white cuffs & toes gives a glittery Christmas vibe.
Happy Stampin’

DeleteMargaret, what a gorgeous card! That green holiday paper is perfect for the TSOT sketch! I love your use of the stocking as the focal point. Adding the decorative twine behind it really adds impact! Thank you so much for sharing your creative talents with us!!! -Donna

DeleteLove that you tried both the Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) sketch and the fantastic variety of complementary colors and patterned paper for both cards. I love how you used the one sketch as a mantel to showcase all the pretty stockings and keep the envelope look of the sketch.This card does not show as an entry because you can only add one card from one post... maybe you can use your Instagram to enter this card! Your beautiful interpretation of sketches combined with Double Trouble's 3-2-1 recipe ingredients are perfect, and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you - never would have thought of using another platform to enter a second time.
DeleteThose are such cute stockings, I really love how you used one with the coordinating papers on the sunburst design. Great Christmas cards! Thanks for playing along with us at Double Trouble!
