Happy Monday

Trust everyone had a good weekend. I cannot believe the beautiful weather we have been having! Everything is blooming and turning green. I love this time of the year.

Today I have a couple of cards to share with you. First is a sympathy card that uses two recently released stamps from DRS Designs -the Leaf Butterfly Spray (1098M) and Extending Sympathy Sentiment (1090G).


The purple card base was embossed using the CB Damask folder. I stamped the Leaf Butterfly Spray on white card stock in Memento Black ink. After coloring the image with Copic markers, I cut it out, added a yellow layer and then attached it to the purple card.


The sentiment was also stamped on white card stock with Memento black ink and cut into a rectangle. I used the same yellow card stock for the Spellbinders' fancy tag die and attached the sentiment to the tag.  Hope you like it.

Last week I didn't get a chance to play in Lesley's Merry Monday Challenge, so today I had to make time for this challenge. I really enjoy getting a head start on my Christmas cards. So here is her sketch and the card I created.


If you haven't checked out Lesley's blog "Always Playing with Paper" you should come over and join in the weekly Merry Monday challenge. It's a great way to get started on those Christmas cards!



Until next time,

  5. Love both cards - the butterflies and leaf stamp is very nice.
    Perfect Christmas card too. I'm been trying to make a Christmas card every week based on the sketch from Always Playing with Paper and it is so nice to have a good start on my Christmas cards instead of doing them all at once.
