Merry Monday #43

This is the last challenge of the year for Merry Monday!  Hopefully by now you have a Christmas card stash just waiting to be mailed out!  I know I will start mailing to my international friends this week and my American friends next week!  If you have yet to start your Christmas cards, your time is running out!  If you got a late start this year, be sure and check back with Merry Monday in January, for a whole new round of Christmas card challenges!  Here is the original sketch this week-

Dynamic Duos is having a great color duo this week, Midnight Muse and Silver.  I went with Outdoor Denim by Close To My Heart and Silver Glitter paper by American Crafts. 

I added a small strip of glitter paper on the inside for a little added bling.

 

Design Tip-If you plan on stamping on glitter paper, I recommend using Pigment Inks.  Dye Inks just fade into the glitter.  I had thought I could emboss my sentiment.....but my glitter started melting prior to my embossing powders.  The pigment inks worked great, just allow a little time for the sentiment to dry!

B1412 Perfect Fit-Holidays
Christmas Sentiments-MFT
1385 White Daisy Cardstock
1275 Outdoor Denim Cardstock
