Christmas Stockings


My poor little blog has been neglected of late!  I am so sorry dear readers and I hope to have the situation remedied soon.  In the meantime, here is one of the few holiday projects I mustered up this season, this time made for Alpha Stamps.




I used gilders paste in white to add a sprinkle of highlights on my star, flowers and the edge of the stocking.




I love how adding just a bit of the paste changes the tones of the metal.




On this stocking I added UTEE to Tim Holtz's metal numerals.  A few flecks of black made them look a bit vintage.




Here the image is an old embossed Santa from Dresden scrap.  I backed it with burlap to add a layer of texture.




Merry Christmas to all of my faithful readers!

Cheers, 

Rhea
