Finally, another Christmas card

The last two weeks cards for Bah Humbug have ended up in the bin but my festive mojo has returned and I've managed to come up with a card for this weeks challenge which is 'Christmas Stockings'. I thought I had a really funky stocking stamp but I couldn't find it anyway but I managed to find a little Penny Black hedgehog with a stocking and I've used him for this card

The music text bp is a freebie from Raspberry Road designs, the bingo ticket is from The Frugal Crafter. The hedgie is stamped on cream card and coloured with promarkers, the sentiment is from a See D's stamp set. All the layers are distressed with vintage photo DI (I used a Marvy stippling brush just for your research Ann lol). I added a couple of flourishes cut on my cricut (Home accents cart) and some little fb pearls to finish off. I've also added some faux stitching - pricked the holes and used a brown sakura stardust pen for the stitches.

I've also followed this weeks recipe from Crafts 4 Eternity which is a gorgeous sketch, coffee and cream and a bingo card.  I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Fab'n'Funky: Its Christmas

Ooh LaLa: Christmas in July

Shabby Tea Room: Christmas in July

Cute card Thursday: Get a head start ... make a Christmas card

Cards for men: Christmas in July

Thanks for looking in. Its pouring with rain here so I don' feel guilty about crafting instead of tacking the weeds. I hope you're having a good weekend
