merry monday #13

I have a card to share with you that I created for the Merry Monday July challenge. The challenge for the whole month of July is to use any previous sketch.


So I pulled out my Christmas container of papers and embellishments along with my drawer full of Christmas stamps. It is so nice to have all these in one place when I want to create a Christmas card.




I used papers from the My Minds Eye "lost and found christmas" collection along with a Unity Stamp called "a beautiful sight",  sentiment is a rub-on by pebbles, button is from my stash. 

I colored the image with memento rich cocoa ink along with my green and yellow acrylic paint daubers by ranger.  If you haven't tried using acrylic paints on your stamps I definitely recommend trying it. You get such a nice texture on the image.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card today.


Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will definitely have more of these holiday cards to share with you since it is our chance to use our favorite sketches. I think I have 6 sketches picked out to use this month.
