It's Friday and I have my Merry Monday card ready to share. Have a look.
Here's the sketch Lesley gave us.
And here's what I came up with.

And here's what I came up with.
I've wanted to do this rose in red on a Christmas card since I got the stamp set. It's about to retire, so I thought I'd better get to it.
It was really hard to get a good picture of this. The colors in the rose look better IRL and it's done on Shimmery White cardstock so it has a little bit of sparkle and looks like velvet.
I liked the way the Merry Christmas tucked underneath the branch.
I'll send this to SCS for the Christmas Card challenge there too. There's a wealth of inspiration for Christmas cards in that gallery.
All supplies are Stampin' Up!

I just received an email telling me that this card won an honorable mention at Dynamic Duos.
That makes me a Dynamic Darling! Who would have thought? They will post a new challenge tomorrow.
I'm so glad you stopped by. Have a great weekend and I hope you get a chance to stamp.

This rose is just perfect for a Christmas card, of course in Red. The sentiment fit like the two elements were made for each other.
