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!
I've been admiring these, Lesley! I love the Midnight Muse and white and the peaceful scene! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLesley your cards are gorgeous! I love the dove setting up on the side. These give such a peaceful feeling! I hope to get time to play along this week!

Love the crisp, fresh simplicity of these cards, Lesley. Midnight Muse is a great blue!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card-I always think large images have to multi-colored, but this is beautiful! Wish I had that stamp set!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Lesley, this colour combination is wonderful and looks perfect with peaceful scene.
