The Stocking****Maja Design****

Hello, I am here to share with you a LO I did, using the Vintage Frost Basics Collection from Maja Design. I just love this Collection,& you can combine it with any of the other Vintage Basics Collections. I took a photo of a stocking that I embroider,way before I got hooked on scrapbooking.

I combined the Vintage Frost Basics & the Vintage Autumn Basics collections. I did not have my Vintage Frost & wanted to get started on my stockings,so that is where I used the Autumn basics.....

From the Vintage Frost Basics Collection I used:1st of Dec,19th of Dec-BS,5th of Dec,7th of Dec & some of the BS's of the labels

I covered the chipboard stockings,with scraps of  paper from the Vintage Autumn Basics Collection,I glued on a small piece of lace, as I was working with the layers, in the stocking. I then hand stitched the stocking,strung some seed beads on to wire & attached them to the stocking....

There are 10 stockings,so I put on our family names & the dogs names....

On the string part of the stocking, I used gesso,then liquid accents & when that dried I applied stickles..

Shows a flower cluster using bird houses & the Audrey Collection from Prima...I used walnut stain on the bird houses,then rock candy crackle & when that dried I applied some Martha Stewart texture effects....

This shows some distressed,hand stitched layers. I also did some punch work & stencil work...

Layers of paper & chipboard,inspired by the stocking....

The center of the wagon wheel is a old brad, that I applied gesso,seed beads,pearls & rock candy crackle...

I love these birds on a branch,I covered them with the paper I was using, then inked the edges using a brown ink pad....
