hello stampers!
I'm thrilled to be the Guest Designer for the Just Us Girls Challenge for the month of November - and this week is word week with challenge #609 - Merry.
Like many of you, I am slowly building up my Christmas card stash so took the opportunity this week to make another Christmas card.
I began with some new designer paper I received with the loveliest colours - pretty and fresh with a modern Christmas feel. I was inspired by a sketch from Donna Lewis that I thought looked like a present with ribbon! The paper pieces were mounted on shaded spruce card and then adhered to a card base making sure the design was kept in the right order.
I stamped the sentiment using Altenew Warm Blessings with my Misti using memento tuxedo black and also versamark, then heat embossed it. The sentiment was also mounted onto shaded spruce card and popped up on foam tape on the card panel. A few stars were fussy cut and also adhered with foam tape around the sentiment.
Come along and join the fun this week at Just Us Girls challenge - we'd love to see your 'merry' cards!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
Rachel... love your MERRY card. Have you given Versafine Onyx ink a try? It is a really dark black and sticky enough when first stamped to clear emboss without Versamark if you like. Great layout!
