By Wendy Kennedy

Materials:

- ½ sheet of 8.5 x 11 Hunter Green Cardstock

- Natural Mulberry Kozo Paper

- 2 Red Round & 2 Red Stocking Eyelets

- Christmas Stocking Sticker - I used Joy Marie's Christmas Sticker Sheet

Instructions:

- Fold green cardstock in half.

- Tear a square of Kozo mulberry paper about 2.5 x 3.25".

- Lightly chalk around the outside of the natural Kozo with brown.

Rub it in with your fingers to create an aged look.

- Wet edges of natural Kozo & roll in a bit so edges look aged.

- Tear a square of red mulberry paper about 3.25 x 4" (with a wet Q-tip draw your tear line first & then the paper will tear easily).

- Lay red square on top of card on an angle

- Lay natural Kozo square on top of red but straight with card.

- Attach with 2 stocking eyelets and 2 round 1/8" eyelets (one in each corner)

- Stick stocking sticker in center.
