Good morning peeps, hope I find you well.
The weather seems a bit drier today and it seems it will be for most of the week. That will allow the huge pile of soil at the end of the garden to dry out so that Al can move it without the whole garden being a horrible muddy mess!
Before I go on to today's card I would like to do a little happy dance as I got Top 5 at LOTV for their October challenge with my retirement card for Cardz4Guyz. Trying for over a year then two wins in two months, whoop whoop. It's sad that they are stopping their monthly challenges after this month's challenge so I will be sad. Hopefully they have other ideas to encourage the use of their fab stamps.

As it's Tuesday it means another challenge at Cardz4Guyz. This week I'm choosing the winners as it's my choice of theme and I chose -
CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Now you could just include a stocking like I did or perhaps go off piste with what the man in your life or a little boy would want in his stocking. Any way here is my card.
This a new stamp from LOTV, called Pup with Stocking. I used Copics to colour to match the backing paper, always a good idea I think to get your backing paper sorted before you start to colour.
I steered away from traditional Christmas colours and went with a green and pale blue vibe, using NitWits Polar Pals paper with a little bit of silver embossed with a snowflake folder.
I shall enter the following challenges -
I flipped and rotated it 90'
LOTV Merry Christmas
Without Words - Preparing for Christmas
Stamping Sentations - Christmas
