Monochromatic Christmas

Hi everyone,

 

The new challenge this week at Holly Jolly has been created by Cindy and it is a Monochromatic challenge. 

 

My card is very blue – I have used Marina Mist and Night of Navy with some Whisper White.

 

The Whisper White piece of cardstock has been embossed using the Stripes Embossing Folder and I added some Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon before I added it to the base card.

 

I have used the Snow Swirled stamp set – a favourite at the moment.  First I stamped the set in Marina Mist and then I stamped the small snowflake in Night of Navy ink on scrap Whisper White and punched the snowflake out with the larger circle on the Owl Builder Punch.

 

There is a little ‘bling’ on each snowflake.  The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink and punched out with the Decorative Label punch. 

 

Here is my card…
