Merry Monday #144


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Nina challenges us to use a bow on our Christmas card.

I am trying hard to make all my Christmas cards easily mailable without having to pay extra postage.  This bow die from Papertrey Ink is just perfect for my bow.  No added bulk of a ribbon knot.  :)  I am also trying to use up more of my hoarded DSP!  I just love these colors together and you can't go wrong with the chalkboard technique. 

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!

Stamps:  Christmas Chalkboard (My Craft Spot)
Ink:  Versamark
Paper:  Black, Pure Poppy, Season of Style DSP (SU)
Accessories: White embossing powder, Tag sale #4 and bow die (Papertrey Ink), Rhinestone

  19. A paper die cut bow on a paper ornament--nothing about that should make the post office upset. It is a great card and like you said can't go wrong with the chalkboard technique.
