Merry Monday & CAS(E) this sketch!

Hi friends!  I am sharing another Christmas card for Merry Monday challenge.  This week's photo inspiration is beautiful.  

Here it is:


I used Simon Says woodgrain textured cardstock for my base layer.  I also followed the sketch over at CAS(E) this sketch but flipped it.  :)


 I am happy to say that I have completed 100 Christmas cards so far for this year!  YAHOO!!!  I usually make and send out 150 so I have a good head start!  I am very thankful for Lesley and her challenges each week.  They sure have helped me to stay on track with making my Christmas cards all year long.  Thank you Lesley!

Cardstock:  Simon Says Woodgrain textured Cardstock, New Leaf (PTI), Early Espresso
Ink:  New Leaf, Early Espresso
Stamps:  Stamp set by Hero Arts
Accessories:  Rhinestone
