Happy Monday! Yes I know...I'm not a Monday fan either but since it's Labor Day I'm really OK with this one. Not only is the day going to be filled with fun...we have a new challenge starting today at the Love to Scrap Challenge Blog! This is a real easy one. It's "Flower Power". Just add flowers and here are the sponsors:
Prize: $10 gift certificate
Prize: 7 images of choice
Prize: $7 gift certificate
I was given this beautiful stamp called "Wish You A Merry Christmas" from Pickled Potpourri. I think it's gorgeous! I wanted a Christmas card that was elegant but easy to make. This was perfect. I used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen to make the paper look old. I used Copic on the holly and candle then a metallic gold pen to highlight the lines. I taped it to a card base and added a flower and some Stickles. Easy peasy!
I love how this turned out. I'm going to make a few of them for Christmas this year. I'm really bad at sending them out so I hope this makes it easier for me.
Please check out our challenge at LTSCB and I hope to see you join us. Don't forget to stop by all the DT blogs and leave some love.
Thanks for your visit and have a blessed day!
