Merry Monday #126


Happy Monday friends!
*This is my second post today, please scroll down or click here for my "Unique Blog Hop post".*
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Karren challenges us to make the sentiment the star of your Christmas card.


For my card I stamped the snowflake in Neon Pink ink, die cut the Merry, layered it three times with black cardstock then attached the original die cut on top of the stack of black ones.  Adding the black helps the die cut to stand out against the white.  The merry die is from Papertrey Ink along with the matching "Christmas" stamp.


  Christmas will be here before you know it.  Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
