Hi everyone!
Merry Monday challenges are going to be back in full swing now after the break for the summer months. This will be my last post as a Merry Monday Design Team member. I have been on the DT since Dec. 2013 and feel it is time to step down. I have totally enjoyed being on this Design Team and want to thank Lesley and Lori for all their hard work keeping this challenge up and running.
I love making Christmas cards year round and this challenge has definitely helped me to do just that. Since I will still be making my Christmas card each year I will be playing along in the challenges, just not as a DT member.
Here is my card for this week's challenge.
Deanne challenges us to use Gold, Black & White.
I created a fun shaker card using the Concentric Circles die from the last Stamp of Approval Collection. I created the sentiment by mixing and matching some supplies from Papertrey Ink and a die from Catherine Pooler Designs. The background is stamped and embossed in clear embossing powder using the stamp set Holiday Flourishes by the Ton from the Holiday Magic Stamp of Approval Collection.
Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over
at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous shaker card Kristie, and I'm so excited that I have all those stamps and dies to re-create this card! I absolutely love your black on black background, and that concentric circles die is just so cool with these colors! I have so enjoyed seeing all your lovely work over the years at Merry Mondays and will definitely miss it and all your positive comments when I've played along. I'll definitely be watching for you over at Catherine Poolers site though, so it's not a total goodbye, and hopefully will see you playing along with MM's once in awhile when you have time! :0)
