Inspired By...#100

I can't believe this is the 100th challenge here on Inspired By!!!  I have had a lot of fun coming up with, creating for and seeing what you all have created for all of the challenges! 

I love these upcycled stockings and thought they would make a good inspiration piece.


How will you be inspired? sweater, stocking, texture, buttons, colors...

I was inspired by the colors and the sweater.  I cut a swatch from a thrift store sweater and created this card from the Elle's Studio Noel collection and the December kit.  The stamps and dies are from Papertrey Ink and the twine is from May Arts.


I can't wait to see what you create!

Now since this is the 100th challenge there is a prize up for grabs!
The winner will receive the entire Noel collection including the stamp (no wood veneers as they are sold out)!!!
