This week has been off to a very busy start and I haven't had much time to stamp or make cards... so sad. I did manage to merge two of my very favorite challenges into one card. I love the new Muse Challenge, it's one of my faves and of course Merry Monday I adore. I adore anything to do with Christmas :) So here is what I did with the two challenges.
The Muse card this week is by Laurie Willison. It's such a beautiful springy card. I hope I did her justice as I turned it into a winter card, but I loved the design and it worked great for my Merry Monday card too :) I was inspired by her design obviously, but also loved the beautiful color combination, which I totally did not use....
Here is the inspiration for the Merry Monday Challenge. It was a color scheme.
Very different from what I think of for a Christmas card, but I have to say, I do like my card :)
The snowflakes and swirls stamps are from Papertrey Ink. The mittens are from Stampin' Up! The blue paper is from Bo Bunny and the orange is from the unknown origin stash :)
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kay :)
Kay this is beautiful ! Love the way you used the orange on your card, and can see how it would be hard to use. I remember this paper from one of our 12 kits. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing a different colour combo on a Christmas card instead of the standard green and red - it looks wonderful!
