Happy Monday Peeps, or should I say "Merry Monday".
A few weeks back I got an e-mail from Lesley from Always Playing with Paper, asking if I would like to be the Featured Designer for the month of June on her "Merry Monday Challenges". I was thrilled to join along with her and her fabulous designers!
The idea behind the Merry Monday Challenges are to get a head start on your Christmas cards, so why not pull out you Christmas card making supplies, turn the AC down really low and put on some Christmas songs and join us?
Here is the sketch for this week:
I pulled out my favorite Christmas set from last year, Stampin' Up's "Beautiful Season"
I love that chickadee on the holly branch, so pretty, I LOVE to watercolor this image!
I used some confetti cream card stock for my main image panel and colored using my aqua painter and ink pads.
I added some very vanilla seam binding ribbon and an antique brad on the bow. The sentiment is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set.
Be sure and head on over to Lesley's blog to see what the others made using this sketch.
Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!
