Merry Monday #97


Happy Monday friends.  Time for another Merry Monday challenge and this week we want you to use the colors Aqua, Silver, & white.


I used the Christmas: Cover up die from Lil' Inker Designs and the fun glitter technique Jen Rzasa from Our Change of Art showed here.  I tried this with silver and aqua glitter but really wasn't happy with the result.  I am much happier with the one above.  Here is my first attempt with silver.



I hope you will join us for this week's Merry Monday challenge.  Make sure you visit the Merry Monday blog to see the rest of the beautiful cards from the Design Team members.

***My stamps for sale page has been updated with lots of stamps.***

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!!

Cardstock:  Whisper White
Accessories:  Christmas: Cover up die (Lil' Inker), Glitter, Silver ribbon, snowflake charm

  13. "Brilliant" cards Kristie! They are both beautiful, but I think I agree with you - the card with the plain aqua glitter background seems to make the letters stand out more...but they are both prettier than ever!

  31. What a gorgeous card! The gradient one isn't bad either but it isn't as stunning as the top one. I swear I am going to get my Merry Monday card done this evening even if I have to duct tape the old man to a chair.
