I love Barbara's colors this even though it took me awhile to decide what to do. I was going to make a Christmas stocking shaped card when this die arrive in the nick of time.
I ordered it because of the gingerbread men (you can also used gnomes) which are one of my favorites at Christmas time.
Everything here is die cut. I wanted two colors of foliage and since Mossy Meadow is the green neutral I couldn't add another. I could however shade MM which is what I did. I took a piece of cardstock and the ink and blended it until I got a nice dark shade.
For my gold I added the foil sentiment and some gold glitter dots as the berries.
I hope you will join us for the challenge this week. Barbara gave us such beautiful colors!

What a fun and festive card, Jeanne! I love the way you used the plaid paper for the body of the stock, and those adorable gingerbread men. Wonderful card!

I can see why you ordered this one Jeanne. What an adorable stocking! Plus you've embellished it so perfectly with the plaid, dots and embossed background.

Great idea for the colors! I just got a small die of the month and have Ben playing with it yesterday but I didn’t think to try this color combination. Oooh I got itchy fingers now!!
