Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a nice weekend!
It's Monday again and time for another challenge at Merry Monday!
This week the theme is to use red, vanilla, kraft and chocolate for your color scheme and to use ribbon on your card.
I don't generally use vanilla, I prefer white for my light neutral and I don't generally use ribbon on my cards either, so this was definitely a challenge for me. It was fun though and I do like what I came up with :) I just might have to buy some vanilla envelopes, so I'll have some on hand if I decide to do more.
I used kraft cardstock ( SU) for my background. I die cut a stitched mat ( Lil Inkers) out of the vanilla, then layered the gingham paper. I stamped the message ( WPlus9), added the ribbon and bow, and then layered the snowflake ( cut with my Cameo) and the tree and joy die cuts ( WPlus9).
Check out what the other talented designers created this week!
