Sweet Sunday.....Merry Little Christmas



Happy Sunday Peeps!!!


Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:


As you can see I flipped the sketch on its side. I wanted to use this pretty sentiment from the Stampin Up Merry Little Christmas, I love this sweet little set, just the sentiment and two elements make up this set.

I decided to use the Merry Monday Challenge this week which is to use the Chalkboard Technique. 
I stamped the sentiment with Versmark onto some black card stock and embossed with white embossing powder. I then sponged on some white craft ink around to make the "chalk dust" look. The embossing makes my card stock warp a bit so I matted my black with another piece of black.


The base of my card is a 5 x 11 inch piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock folded in half. I then used a piece of white and the DSP is from the Deck the Halls pack. 
I added some Cherry Cobbler seam binding across the card and then made a loopy bow. I added three white sparkly jingle bells to the bow. I love jingle bells and have a big assortment of colors but I think besides rusty ones I love these white sparkly ones the best!! I finished off with three little silver sequins. Simple but sweet! :)


Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun sketch:


Thanks for stopping by today

Hi Vicki. Love your chalkboard panel(love this sentiment too!). Your panel really looks great with that little frame of black --- it's amazing how small detail make a big impact!
