This is for FS195 CherylQuilts is our featured artist today. Congratulations, Cheryl! I had a great time browing your gallery and set several aside for casing asit was hard for me to choose. I finally picked Stockings All Hung In A Row. Stockings All Hung In A Row by CherylQuilts at Splitcoaststampers
I really liked Cheryl simple layout an dkept mine the same with the exception that I chose to use a square card. I kept most of her color choices and used her same ribbon treatment. I didn't use the corner brads as I thought the paper was busy enough. I changed the image to a little girl hanging her stockings up on Christmas Eve for Santa to fill. The image was colored using a brush, reinkers and water.

Sweet little girl. I hope there are a lot of little goodies in that stocking for her. I love your coloring, wow! And I see the inspiration, but love where you went with it. Great sketch and simple colors for the background -- super sweet image with stockings -- fantastic coloring.
