Hello! Happy Monday my crafty friends…This morning I have a new challenge for you Merry Monday Challenge and this week our hostess is Marcia and the challenge is to Create a Christmas card with the word “JOY” on it. I’ll be guest designing for Merry Monday Challenge for the next 4 months. I’m super excited to be joining a team of some amazing designers. 
For my card this week I couldn’t wait to ink up the Avery Elle Caroling Critters. I think it goes well with this weeks challenge ” create a card with “Joy” can’t you envision those critters standing on the street corner singing Joy to the World. 
I inked up several images from the stamp set with a Copic friendly ink Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the images with various Copic Markers. The images were cut with my Brother Scan N Cut. I used one of the dies from the Avery Elle Custom Panels Elle-ments set to cut out a snow bank. On the background I used Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch to create a snowy night. I used the Avery Elle Falling Snow Elle-ments die to add the snow. To finish my card I adhered the background to an A2 Top Fold Neenah Card base. I added Nuvo Glitter to the die cut snow banks to make it look like fallen snow on the ground and adhered them to the background. 
I added some detail to the images with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen, glossy accents was added to the lamp post. The sentiment and musical notes were stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. Hope you like my take on this weeks challenge. Come play along with us for the Merry Monday challenge, the design team has some beautiful inspiration on the challenge blog as well.

The prize this week is 2 “SINGLE” digi images or 2 “Card Topper Kits of the winners choice (or one of each).
This week my card is created using the Hedgy with Snowflake Digi Stamp
My card is created on a white card base. I added a piece of Doodle Bug paper from my stash of scraps for the background. A strip of silver paper was added. Hedgy was copied and colored with Copic Markers. I added lots of silver splatters to the background to give my card a starry winter night feel. The sentiment was stamped with clear ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder it’s a perfect fit. A few snowflakes were die cut and adhered to finish my card.

Happy Sunday my crafty friends….. I’ve had tons of time this weekend playing in the haven and boy does it feel good to create. I’m joining a few challenges this week. So come along for the ride and enjoy!
I love the sketch that Kim created over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog this week… I knew I wanted a dramatic look and this Washi tape I had in my stash has a geometric sort of dramatic look about it…..
I used a Neenah black top-fold A2 card base and adhered the strips of Washi onto the card base. I knew the exact image I needed to draw your eye to the background. I stamped a few images from my recent purchase MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp and colored the flower and leaves image with various copic markers and cut out with my Brother Scan-N-Cut.
To finish my card I adhered the flower and leaves images on top of the Washi strips. I used the SSS Painted Hello Die for my sentiment and gave it an ombre look by using my copic markers. I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the center of the flower and a few Nuvo Crystal Drops and it’s a rap for this card.

For this card I stamped my image and copic colored it on Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted my background to look like a funny bar scene so I chose some pattern papers from the Echo Park Party Time 12×12 paper collection.
The challenge theme is Bling, Glitter, Glossy and I litterly went all out. I cut a strip from my DCWV Glitzy Pastels glitter paper and adhered it to the party collection background.

I finished this card off by adhering it onto an A2 Top-Fold card base.
