Hello!!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Stopping in with a card I put together this morning for the current Merry Monday Christmas challenge. They have a lovely sketch this week. I have been in a bit of a creative funk, again, so I thought using the sketch would help. I have lots of fun new stamps and dies, but just can't seem to get anything going... maybe I have too much stuff???!!! Anyway... I thought making something simple might help so I turned to Merry Monday since I need to get started on some Christmas cards. I have never used my Make It Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk and since it comes with a sheet of images you can die cut and use I thought that would make things easy, but it turned out I was wrong, lol! I still struggled to get something made! I was going to use some of the patterned papers that come in the kit, but decided that none would work for the top panel so I inked up some PTI Fresh Snow linen cardstock with Broken China distress oxide ink and then flicked on water to create a look of snow falling. That panel and a piece of the patterned paper from the kit were die cut along with the images. I laid out where I wanted the die cuts and then stamped the sentiment. Layered everything up and finally... I had a card made!!! Here's to hoping I can get something else made, lol!!
Have a wonderful day...
