Welcome to another week at Merry Monday! The idea behind this challenge is to get a head start on your Christmas cards! Each week, I choose one Merry Monday Winner who will then be a Guest Designer for a future challenge! So get out your Christmas supplies and let's get to work!
Lesley Croghan
This week I made a set of cards with a retired Stampin' Up set called "A Wish for Peace". I used Midnight Muse for the very first time!!! This card has a few layers but the look is clean and simple. I think going Monochromatic with the card made it easier to construct. I did used the new More Merry Messages set (LOVE IT!) and thought the sentiment worked well with the church image and the dove. My card base is white, which makes it easier because you do not need to add white paper to the inside.
The design team has come up with some gorgeous samples to get you in the spirit, so put on some holiday music and get crafting! Happy stamping!
Challenge Rules (to keep things fair):
1. You must use the sketch and make a Christmas card.
2. Please add a direct link to your blog or to an online gallery.
3. Feel free to use other challenges or for a stamp release, it doesn't matter, as long as you add this challenge link to your post.
4. Any offensive posts or cards that do not follow the guidelines will be removed out of courtesy to fellow bloggers and myself.
5. As always, please have fun and make the sketch your own!
This linky will close at Noon on the Sunday before the next Merry Monday Challenge.
