Christmas Stockings with Soft Rose PoinsettiasCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Reduced the size to print two sheets to a page of 250gm matte photo paper, then printed the card full front and the background sheet on one page, the other two sheets on another, and printed an extra copy of the background.

I printed a soft, coordinating backing paper on the back of the sheet with the full card front. After cutting out, I scored and slightly folded a line about 3/4" from the top of the double-sided background piece and glued the card front to it so the background became the insert, forming a tent card.

Glued the right-facing stocking to the card back, then cut the inner portion out of the second background copy to form a frame and attached it to the card front 3-D with silicone gel.

I added the decoupage with silicone gel and finished with scattered crystals (didn't photograph well-the tiny ones are pale pink).

I made this small to use as a gift enclosure card, but it would be spectacular as a large, keepsake card.
