This is the
Merry Monday sketch #45 for Christmas cards...
and here's my card. I tweaked the sketch a bit and used a SB labels 18 die cut instead of a circle. I used some long overlooked glitter paper from a stack I bought a long time ago. The sentiment circle was embossed with gold, and I added some gold cording around the SU! ornament punch. The cream taffeta ribbon is from Pizzazz Aplenty. The card stock is a linen finish cream-color that my friend Heidi sent me.
Here's the sketch for the
Sweet Stop SSS193...
This is my card for the challenge, and it's also for the
SNSDC87 to use coffee, tea, or cocoa images. Cocoa mouse to the rescue! I used some MME on the bright side dsp for my card, and paper pieced Cocoa's cup. The sentiment and heart scalloped border are from SNSS, and I added a few star gemstones to the corners just for fun.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Tuesday!
