Today I have a card that combines two of my favorite Monday Challenges.
First - Merry Monday was to use a Christmas word and decorate each letter
I die cut the "noel' from PTI block letters and decorated them with tiny twinkles from Taylored Expressions
I used red sparkle card stock for the base, layering a striped and black piece die cut with Mega Mat stack layers. I punched the drippy snow/icicles out of watercolor paper so it has some texture and popped it up on foam dots across the panel. I adhered the letters along the top edge of the drippy snow.
and the Cure for the Monday Blues challenge was this photo inspiration. I was inspired by the red/black/white colors, the striped mug, the black frame and chair for my card design.
I'll be back on Thursday with my card for the new Fusion Card Challenge
and on April 30th I'll be starting 3 days of sneak peeks for the May Waltzingmouse release along with the rest of the WMS Design Team - fun stuff coming!
