Stocking Inspired

This week at Jingle Belles we're making cards inspired by this picture from French Knot.

 

 

I started with a piece of red cardstock with a Brick Embossing Folder and then I inked with maroon & brown ink to try to get something similar to the look of the fireplace in the photo (and also pulls in the color form the toe and heal of my inspiration stocking).  I took the rest of my inspiration (colors and patterns) from this stocking, which resulted in a fun modern look.

 

 

I used the Simon Says Stamp Diamond Tile Dies in Teal & Green.  Next I die cut the Tim Holtz Christmas Cookie Die in Green & Grey.

 

 

I put some green bling in the center of the snowflake & finished with sentiments from The Ink Blot Shop Mixed Holiday Greetings.

With my embossed brick background, I'm linking-up at the Simon Says Stamp Emboss It Challenge.
