Hello, Happy Monday! It’s time for another challenge over at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is brought to you by Kelly. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card using the inspiration photo below.
For my design this week I kept things pretty simple, I used the patterned paper from the SSS Limited Edition Christmas 2017 Kit. The greenery from the trees in the patterned paper reminds me of the topiary plants on the table in the photo.
I used the SSS Stars & Dot stencil to add stars to the background and heat embossed with SSS Fine Detail Gold (EP), The sentiment is from the Essentials By Ellen – Season To Sparkle stamp set, I heat embossed it as well with the Gold (EP). To finish my design I die cut the patterned paper panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered unto an A2 Top Fold Neenah (80lb) card base.

Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), SSS Limited Editions Christmas (2017) Kit patterned papers.
Stamp: Essentials By Ellen (Season to Sparkle)
