Merry Monday on Tuesday


Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card made using the Merry Monday Sketch Challenge.
The idea behind these sketch challenges are to get a head start on your Christmas cards.

I pulled out my favorite Stampin Up set, "Greeting Card Kids". You all know I love this sweet little Christmas image from this set. 
I stamped the image with black stazon onto some confetti cream card stock and colored with my aqua painter. I used Marina Mist,  Crumb Cake and Riding Hood Red ink. 
The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and the DSP is from the "Letters to Santa" pack. I matted all the DSP with Early Espresso card stock.


The holly and berries are from the "Bells and Boughs" stamp set. I stamped onto some confetti card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads. I cut out and added to my image panel. I used a bit of crystal effects on the berries.
The sentiment is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set.  I added a few basic pearls to finish it off.
Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and 
HAPPY STAMPING!!

Vicki

Vicki, this is soft and sweet! I like that vintage girl image, and the holly and berries you topped her off with seem to be the perfect finishing touches.

Thanks for playing with us at Merry Mondays!

Hi Vicki,
What a great look, to combine the two stamp sets and the way you combined the designer paper, it really feels festive. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday!
