Muse: ChristmasVisions 21My card for this challenge is presented. Ingrid provided us a very festive muse. I was very challenged in making this card ... for one I had only two products with holly (the DP used and a microscopic-sized stamp)!! I used the DP (that someone gave me) with small randomly placed holly and altered it by over-stamping with a ginger-colored ink using typewriter text. For the underlying panel and "merry", I used a light copper-colored foil (foil is difficult to photograph ... it looks orange in the pic) that coordinates well with the ink. For added interest I overlapped the letters in "merry." Inspirations from Ingrid's card are:
-- text over-stamping
-- fishtail banner with sentiment
-- Merry Christmas sentiment
-- similar colors
-- holly
Thank you for looking and commenting ... your feedback is most appreciated.

Marilyn - what a stunning card! I LOVE overlapping letters, haven't done that in a while - you've inspired me! And that typewriter text with the tiny holly is just too cute. I would never have thought to use that and it looks so cool! I don't know about you, but sometimes the challenging cards for me turn out the greatest! Love the color choices - the copper with the banner are just great. Thanks so much for playing along with the challenge at MCV! :) :)
ReplyDeleteSuper fun design Marilyn, the bold lettering gives the card a nice dimension.
