Merry Monday #148


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Deanne challenges us to use Red & Green on our Christmas card.


I recently got this Merry die from My Favorite things.  I love that it is long enough to have a slight slant on your card front.  I cut it from a piece of cardstock then layered the red and green stripes onto a card base making sure they were in the same spot as the die cut letters.  I then stamped Christmas in Versafine black ink from the stamp set Christmas Greetings by Clearly Whimsy Stamps.  The string of lights is also a set by Clearly Whimsy called Sparkle & Shine.  It is hard to tell in the photo but I added glossy accents to the lights so they are shiny in real life.

Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.
I hope you will join us! 

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Christmas Greetings, Sparkle & Shine (Clearly Whimsy Stamps)
Ink:  Pure Poppy, New Leaf (PTI)
Paper:  Pure Poppy, New Leaf (PTI)

    Those little bulbs are just darling, Kristie, and go so well with the stripe backed sentiment.

    Really like how you tilted the "Merry" sentiment and used the red and green behind. I also love the stamped border at the top. Great take on the challenge!
