Hey there. I wanted to share a quick technique with you that was inspired by the challenge over on the Less is More blog, That's Torn It. This is a really old technique that I had forgot all about till I saw their post. You start with a piece of card stock and crumple it up, open it and re-crumple it.
You will continue this process till you see the layers start to separate. Then flatten it out the best you can and peal the edges apart. This creates a flannel like texture to the card stock surface.
Using the die from the Essentials by Ellen Holiday Characters set, I die cut the stocking and some red fun foam from my flannel card stock. Then I stamped the stocking and greeting in Versafine black ink on a top-folding, A2 white card base. Layered the flannel die cut over the stamping. My picture does not do it justice it is so cute in person.
My color palette and single image fit the other challenges also. Thanks for stopping by, Sue.
That's sure a festive card, I love red and white together for a Christmas card for sure. Thank you for playing at AAA Cards

Genius! At first I thought you hadn't torn anything, but by tearing that layer away it does fit the theme perfectly. Such a great technique. You are on fire this week. Thanks so much for joining us again at Less is More xx
