It's Monday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Merry Monday! I'm the host for this week's challenge and I hope you'll join us and get a jump start on making your Christmas cards! Here's the inspiration photo and details for this week's challenge:
My card was inspired by the wood floors, different shades of greenery and touches of gold in the inspiration photo. I hope you like the finished results as much as I do!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Garden Green, Very Vanilla card stock; Gold Glitter card stock (Recollections)
Tools: Expressions Thinlits Dies, Big Shot, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Simply Scored, Evergreen Punch (Martha Stewart)
Extras: Gold Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive
Very pretty. Love how you angled the "Merry" and the embossed wood background looks great.

Your handwriting is SO much better than mine! If I had written it and tried to glitter it, it would have been such a mess. Great job.

I love the dark background on your card Margaret. It really sets off the green, white and gold. The 'merry' is so perfect on the diagonal panel and love the wee touch of foliage too. Great challenge.
