Sometimes you just come up with a clever idea and this was one of mine. I love this "Long Stocking" stencil from Dreamweaver Stencils, and I wanted to experiment with paste-stenciling on velveteen paper. I was quite happy with the result, but then decided it needed something else...maybe a sentiment? Hmmm. Where would I put it? Not much room. Bing! (light bulb going on overhead)...I had it! What if I made a long skinny tag that could slide in and out of the stocking, 'cuz hey, aren't stockings supposed to have surprises? Fortunately, Dreamweaver also had this long sentiment that fit perfectly inside. The background of the card was ink-stenciled using Versamark ink with the "Diamonds" stencil. Some fun retro-inspired ribbon and tiny pompoms were added for whimsy. Yep. The mojo was definitely with me on this day!
