Merry Monday #137 & Guest Designer @ The Challenge!


Happy Monday friends!
I am honored to be Guest designer for Dec. at The Challenge!
Thank you, Lesley for inviting me to play along.
I combined the Merry Monday challenge with the sketch at The Challenge!



 I thought adding a cute little Santa hat on the flamingo would make a cute card especially, for those that live in a warm climate.

I also wanted to share the Cyber Monday sale going on over at Ellen Hutson!

 
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 and The Challenge!
 Thank you for visiting and have a great day!


Stamps:  Fabulous Flamingo (Reverse Confetti), Merry Greetings, Arctic penguins (Mama Elephant)
Ink:  Memento black, Regal Rose
Paper:  White, DSP
Accessories: Scoring board, Stitched rectangles (Lil' Inker), Fabulous Flamingo Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti)

  32. Congrats on your guest designer spot, my friend! Your card is so eye catching. I had to read your supply list to see which embossing folder you used. Is it weird that I am excited you used your scoring board? I have that! :) Love your card and of course your original use of a flamingo!!!
