The theme for November is 'Christmas'! And I have two cards to share with you today.
My first card was totally inspired by Kelly's trifold WMS sketch challenge card seen here. I just loved her wonderful layered paper pieced stockings from Sewing Box Christmas. I used just one stocking on my card, used a sentiment from Twas the Night Before Christmas and drew a frame around it with my black 01 fine Micron pen. My card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"
How cute and fun are these?!?!!
and here's my 2nd Christmas card.
