Today I am really excited to be the guest designer over at Merry Mondays :) I only started playing in this challenge a few weeks ago but really love it - it is the perfect way to build up a stock of Christmas cards and the inspiration from the design team is wonderful!
Here is how I was inspired by this week's theme:
I loved the peaceful snowy scene with the little red houses amongst the woods. I used my Memory Box die and coloured the houses red. Combined with some glamour dust glitter and a sentiment from Hero Arts Friends and Family set stamped in navy ink.
A very easy card but one that I would never have come up with without the challenge.
I also made a second card:
Again the moonlit snowy scene was the main inspiration to create a monochromatic CAS design. I used the beautiful Hero Arts Winter Scene stamped in Chipped Sapphire along with a sentiment from the Merry Christmas message set. I simply dusted some ink around the moon mask to create the sky and added a bit of glitter.
I will also join this card up at the Holiday Challenge at Hero Arts in the White Out category.
That's it from me - I hope you will play along with us at Merry Mondays and check out the fabulous DT designs. You are sure to be inspired!
Thanks for stopping by :)

ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! The little house die-cuts in the first card are so gorgeous in red and love that you kept the card front more slim-line. And your second card, well....its stunning! The colouring around the moon is absolute perfection and really is a fantastic finishing touch. Its one of my favourites!!
