Waiting For Santa

Hello friends,

I am still busy with my Christmas cards and finalizing the last gifts. Time is running out now but I want to share another card with you. My inspiration for this card is from an inspirational picture at The Shabby Tea Room. I always have a soft spot for pink Christmas cards and creating with pink roses and lace are always a joy. I hand drawn the stockings and embellished them with lace, ribbon and bling for a festive feel. To finish off I attached the Christmas stockings to the rose wreath and add a chipboard sentiment.

I entered my card in the following challenges:
