Welcome to Merry Monday!! We are at the beginning of a brand new month and we are excited to welcome, Sandy Mathis as our Featured Designer this month! Sandy's cards are always gorgeous and ALL Stampin' Up!!! To learn more about Sandy, please CLICK HERE. Welcome, Sandy!
This week's challenge is something fun and easy, I hope!!! We are looking for a bird on your Christmas card! An Owl, a Penguin, a Cardinal, a Chickadee, or any other "bird" that would work on a Christmas card...um...can you say turkey...LOL...have fun!!!
I decided to play along with the October 2013 Verve Sketch. I LOVED the sketch design! I also needed to use the Inspiration Photo attached to the sketch and in the photo were poppies and a soft teal colour. I was inspired by the flowers and the pretty teal and red combo for my card. I even tried to capture the dark poppy center on my poinsettia and the neutral background in the picture.
How to play with the Merry Monday Christmas Card Club:
1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
2. The challenge will be either a theme, an inspiration photo, a sketch or a colour combo.
3. Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery. (Who doesn't love comments!)
4. Have fun!
5. Follow the weekly challenge closely.
