Hello everyone! So excited to announce that I have been asked to be on the Design Team at Merry Monday! I love playing along with Lesley’s sketches every week and can’t wait to make the rounds to see your creations! Here is a look at this week’s sketch.
I incorporated a mix of old and new supplies to make my card. My sentiment on the front of my card is from the current October Stamp of the Month, Very Merry Christmas. I pulled out my favorite set from last year, Holiday Magic for my sleigh image. I distressed the edges of my paper to give my card more of a vintage feel. I stamped the musical background in tone on tone for a subtle image.
I love the Merry Christmas sentiment from Ornamental Cheer. It is such a classic font, it seems to work great for all of my cards.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
Z1686 Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
S1110 Holiday Magic
S1210 Very Merry Christmas
D1520 Ornamental Cheer
D1477 Universal Backgrounds
X7141B Elemental Paper Pack
1272 Cranberry Cardstock
Z2116 Cranberry Ink
Z2118 Desert Sand Ink
