Merry & Bright--Merry Monday #135

November 19, 2014

The Merry Monday Christmas Challenge has provided me the opportunity to make so many cards for Christmas.  I have really enjoyed all the challenges and  I am so thankful that my stack of cards is growing and there are still a few more weeks to play along!


The Design Team inspires me each week and I am always excited to run in my craft room and play along.  Sue's challenge calls for a project with Christmas Bells.  I hope you enjoy my card!

--This card did not photograph well.  I tried outside and inside.  I am sorry the colors do not do the card justice.  I used clear embossing powder on the pine needles and Wink of Stella.  They glisten so beautifully and the silver bells from the foil are so bright and merry.  I hope you can see this when you view my card.  --  Feeling frustrated---






Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I love to hear from you, so please leave a comment if you have a minute!

If you have any questions on my card or Stampin' Up! contact me at: Claire.

Stay warm!

Happy Stampin!
Claire

The green striped paper was found in my stash.

  4. This is a beautiful Christmas card, Claire! Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets frustrated when I can't get a good pic of one of my cards, although this card seems to have turned out perfectly from my viewpoint. :)

  7. Claire - I think it's gorgeous! I know how disappointing a photo can sometimes be. If I love it this much now, I can't imagine how much I'd love it if it were in my hands. :) I love the combination of images with this paper. Thanks for playing along with this week's Merry Monday challenge.
