Merry Monday #179


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Deanne challenges us to create a Christmas card using Pink, White, & Green

I think this color combo is so pretty for Christmas cards.  I decided to stamp the small open holly leaf from Holiday Flourishes in the Stamp of Approval Holiday Magic Collection.  I focused my stamping towards the top right corner of my card.  I stamped them using the new Vintage Jadeite ink from Papertrey Ink.

I then took the small hexagon stamp from the Snowy Sayings stamp set from the SOA collection to stamp the pink "berries" scattered throughout the leaves.  I embossed the sentiment from O Holy Night by Papertrey Ink on Hibuscus burst cardstock and cut it out using Die-namics Cross-Stitch Square Stax by My Favorite Things.

Another card using black, white and red with a different sentiment.


I'm adding this card over at Christmas Card Challenges #49: Anything goes.

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!

    Love these...there you go with the angles again. You just have a knack for do that so perfectly. It's fun to see how, just by using different colors, you can achieve two unique feels to the cards.

    I love these cards, Kristie, especially the black, white and red one. But what "Snowy Sayings" stamp? I didn't get that in my SOA box unless it was an earlier one.

    Oh Kristie I love these two cards - the delicate background stamping makes the sentiment panel really 'pop'.

    Hmmm....how did this pretty sneak past me? Glad I scrolled down past the current post :)
    Both color combos are awesome....but I love the pink & green. And, I adore the hexagon berries. The embossed sentiments....well, you likely know that I will be enamored with the shrapnel free images!
