Christmas Stocking

 I think Christmas is the most magical time of year, don't you? That's why, when I saw Christmas Stocking, I knew there was a little miracle, a beautiful surprise, inside the stocking. The image is drawn by Sherry West and is one of her beautiful images, available as a clear stamp from StampAddicts.com and spotlighted by them on HochandaTV. This week is Stamp Addicts 28th Birthday and they are having a HUGE celebration, so make sure you check them out! Sherry also has a Facebook page, Sherry West Art Coloring and Crafts, which you should check out - lots and lots of goodies there, too! I printed the image along with a few digital images I had from Designer Digitals. I colored the image with Copic markers using techniques I learned in classes from Kit and Clowder. Then I used a gold gel pen for the tree lights and a white gel pen for other highlights. I then mounted the picture on top of some Christmas cardstock and used some 1/8 inch Christmas ribbon to wrap the cardstock and the same ribbon for a bow. I tried to make the stocking contents look as if they are glowing, as a true magical, beautiful surprise would. Let me know what you think!
