CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Christmas is fast approaching!!  Are you ready?  I am just finishing up some decorating and I am done!  Except I have to wrap the presents.  I better get going!

I made this super cute wood stocking to finish my decorating.  It will be hanging on a shelf with other Christmas crafts.

SUPPLIES:

• SinCity Stamps "Steampunk's Christmas" Stamps
• SinCity Stamps "Terri Sproul Leaves" Stamps
• Stewart Superior Ink
• Staz On Ink
• Kaiser Craft Stocking
• Bella Acrylic Craft Paint
• Ribbon, Button and Flower Gems

I painted the stocking green and the top piece white.  I added glitter on top of the white paint.

I used some of the gear stamps from the Steampunk's Christmas set, because I thought they looked like candy.  I also used a leaf from the Terri Sproul Leaves set to put on top of the stocking,like holly.  I tried a bunch of different inks to find just the right shade.

I finally settled on the Staz On Cactus Green ink and I used a 2" circle punch to punch out the gears to glue to my wood stocking.  I stamped the leaves with the same ink on white paper.

I used a paint marker to make the faux stitching around the stocking.

I LOVE this!!  I glued the "Candy" to the stocking and added some flower gems.  On top, I added the leaves and a bow with a button in the center.

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Wishing you very Happy Holidays!!
