A little pink stocking...

Hiya :)

Eeeek! I can't actually believe it's less than a week 'til cristmas! How quick has this year gone? It's mad!

Anyways... here is a stocking tag, i've made to go with the scarf i've knitted mum as a present. I say it's a tag, but it's a bit big so i'm not sure if it'll get used as a tag yet.

I used tim holtz papers, made into a patchwork type background, then i added some bits of broken jewellry, a tag, a bow and some holly leaves cut from felt. The edges are inked with distress inks and distressed with scissors, and all of the stitching is done by hand again. It is finished with a few gems and stickles around the edges.I'm entering this in:
Totally Gorjuss - for someone special
Creative Inspirations - anything goes christmas
Allsorts - anything goes
PaperPlay - anything but a card
Stamp Something - something with a tag or pocket

Right... i'm off to ice the christmas cake now :)
Thanks for looking
