Happy Monday, peeps! Wow, what a fabulous weekend we had…hope yours was good too! I am the hostess at the Merry Monday challenge today; here is my challenge for you:
I saw this pretty decoration on Pinterest here and just had to snag it! Such a nice rustic look! Unfortunately, all the ideas in my head were going to take too much time and I really needed to make this card CAS, as July is just a crazy month! So I pulled out a Hero Arts stamp I got last year:
I inked it up in Wild Wasabi, and mounted it on a Sahara Sand card that was stamped with the Hardwood BG in Craft White. I resisted all my instincts to glitter this thing up to the hilt; instead, I simply diecut a brushed gold snowflake and added single Baked Brown Sugar sequin, and mounted it atop some burlap ribbon:
I am so thrilled with what the design team came up with using this photo inspiration! They are all just beautiful, so be sure to check them out at the Merry Monday blog…and please play along!
