Merry Monday Embossed Tree

We're playing Merry Monday a little different this month.



I love an anything goes challenge, don't you?

I pulled out a piece that I had embossed last December.  The embossing folder belongs to a friend.


Don't look too closely at the painting.  LOL, it looks like I was in a hurry.  Probably was!

I swiped my markers across a plastic lid and picked up the color with a blender pen to keep the colors softer and somewhat even.

Edited to add
My friend Ardyth encouraged me to enter this in the Festive Friday Challenge.  So I'll take this one over there too.

It's a one layer card so it will be super easy to mail.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  None
Ink:  SU Markers (Garden Green, Real Red, Daffodil Delight)
Paper:  Heavy Wt. White (Hamermill?)
Other:  Big Shot, Tree EF (Cuttlebug), Blender Pen, Basic Rhinestones

Some of the design team and Guest Designers are sharing inspiration over at Merry Monday.  I hope you'll create a Christmas card and link it up with us.  You can link as many as  you want and get that head start on your Christmas stash.

I'm so glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!
