It's time for another challenge at Merry Monday! I hope you'll join us this week and get a jump start on making your Christmas cards! Here's the inspiration photo and details for the challenge:
I used slate, kraft and white to create my clean and simple card, featuring a rhinestone embellished stamped tree and a simple, seasonal sentiment. I had a rhinestone flower in my stash that reminded me of a star. I think it makes the perfect tree topper! I hope you like the finished card as much as I do! Please let me know what you think by leaving me a comment below. I always love hearing from you!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Special Season
Paper: Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Basic Gray
Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Simply Scored scoring board
Extras: Adhesive rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive
This is stunning Margaret - elegant and classy!!

I love your finished card. I would never think to stamp the tree in gray/slate but why not? as it works so well. I love all the bling on the tree to pretty it up.
