Merry Monday Calm Christmas

Whoosh! It's Monday again.  Merry Monday!


Margaret has given us a color challenge.



The dove image was stamped once on the card front and once on a piece of scrap with Encore Gold ink.  I heat embossed the second image with Gold and cut it out.  After coloring the olive branch with markers, I placed the embossed dove over the image stamped on the card front.  The sentiment is also heat embossed.

I hope you'll join us for Merry Monday this week.



Check out the rest of the Design Team's cards. They're fantastic!

I'm so glad you stopped by.

Enjoy!
