Merry Monday #20
May 14, 2012
Hi there
I was delighted to be invited by Lesley to be a Guest Designer this week for the Merry Monday Challenge #20. These sketches are a great opportunity to kick start my Christmas card stash. I've decided to make two similiar cards each time while I have all the materials on my craft desk. Here is the sketch:
I dug deep in my stash and came up with a (non SU) stamp that I haven't used for years. I hope we get some Christmas stamps in our new IBC that are good for colouring. This is what I came up with:
| Project Details | |
| Stamps | Partridge in Pear Tree (not SU), Season of Joy |
| Card stock & Papers | Garden Green (Textured), Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Regals Patterns Stack, Xpress-IT Blending card |
| Ink | Mememto Tuxedo Black, Versamark |
| Accessories | Antique brads, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon |
| Tools | Petals a Plenty Embossing folder, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Copics, White embossing powder, Heat gun |
Don't forget to check out the inspiration from the rest of the DT.
This is beautiful--your coloring is fabulous! And I LOVE your cats and their names!!! Artie is particularly beautiful! So glad to have you with us at Merry Monday!

Judy, I LOVE the deep rich colors paired with that pear tree (I didn't even mean to make a pun there, with the 'paired' and 'pear') - it's stunning!

Congratulations on your guest DT spot, my friend! How exciting! I love the main panel on this card; the bow is gorgeous, and I love how you've white-embossed the sentiment. The embossed Cherry Cobbler piece of card is just right for a Christmas card.

Beautiful card Judy. I love your colouring (and I have the exact same wish for a great SU xmas stamp to colour) and your bow is stunning too.
