Happy Weekend Everyone,
Today's post is for a new challenge CAS(E) this Sketch.  The idea is to keep it Clean and Simple, which can be a bit of a challenge but something I am trying to achieve. Once I cut out and glued the "Merry" Word Die  I covered it with Dazzling Diamonds and added the Holly and Crystals.

Card: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
Finishing Touches: Dazzling Diamonds, Taylored Expressions Mini Crystals
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Holidays Die, Stamp-a-ma-jig, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Monday #36 - Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hi Folks,
Today's post is for the Merry Monday Sketch Challenge this week.  I stamped the image twice in Black and Real Red.  I cut out the red chimney and added it to the Black image, coloured in the image, created the roof with the Scallop Border Punch and added some Dazzling Diamonds to the furry bits of Santa's clothes. I sponged the Brick Wall embossing on the White mat and the Basic Grey roof.  The Sentiment is cut from the Happy Holidays stamp from the retired stamp set Glad Tidings and the Ho was highlighted in red.
