Penny Black Saturday Challenge .........

This week's challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge is a sketch. I have included a close up of my image as I used some glitter flocking powder from Papermania which my friend brought me for my birthday. Can you see how fluffy it looks on the Christmas Stocking! You just want to touch it! It was really easy to apply you first put wet glue where you want the flocking powder to be. I call it a powder but its actually more like cotton wool, then you just press it down into the glue its that easy! I got six christmas colours in my set, which were white, black, green, red, purple and blue. I think you may see this alot in the future on my cards as I love it!
