wishing you...

Hello!!!  Popping in with a card that I made for a few challenges... Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday Christmas challenge.  The current Merry Monday challenge is to make a masculine Christmas card and yes... I went with a image of stag!  I pulled out my Essentials by Ellen Prize Stag die and cut him from some beautiful shimmery copper cardstock.   The plaid paper is from a Tim Holtz 8x8 pad of paper I purchased last year (and never used!!) called Yuletide and was die cut with a Reverse Confetti die.  The papers in this pad are gorgeous and I really must use them again and soon!!  I stamped the starburst image from the Essentials by Ellen Merry & Bright set in olive ink on the paper.  I die cut a thin fishtail banner using an MFT die and then stamped it with a sentiment from Merry &  Bright using a dark brown ink.  The other end was then fishtailed using the same die.  I adhered the plaid piece to my kraft cardstock panel, added the stag and the banner and then stamped Christmas below using the same dark brown ink. A nice simple card perfect for a guy!   I'm also going to add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 

Hope you have a wonderful day...
