Merry Monday Challenge #2

DSCF0539-1

Lesley has another great sketch for her Christmas card Merry Monday challenge #2:

I had gotten some beautiful Christmas papers last month but hadn’t had a chance to use them, so I pulled them out and went to work:

I used a combination of Marina Mist and Sahara Sand to ink my image; I tapped the stamp first in my MM pad, then lightly tapped the SS pad over top, to give it a toned-down look:

I also used Naturals Ivory cardstock to complement the vintage look of the designer papers.  Copic-colored pearls finished off my fairly CAS design!

Some days we have a “static” problem:

  1. This is a gorgeous card! I love the design- the large scallops at the bottom are a great base. The Marina Mist is such a great, unexpected color for it too, particularly with the pearl accents! Wonderful!

  4. Very lovely Christmas card, LeAnne! Speaking of papers we haven't gotten to use, I realized yesterday that I should NOT buy any more patterned papers until I've put a serious dent in what I own!

    Cassidy is getting so much bigger, and of course is ever cute. :)
