Merry Monday Card Challenge #92

It is time for a new Merry Monday Challenge. Take a look at this wonderful inspiration photo, this week we are challenging you with colours.

I used a cream or vanilla card stock for my card base, then added layers of red and kraft. I heat embossed the poinsettia in a white/silver embossing powder and I even added a little background texture. I finished with some knotted ribbon, some gems and a sentiment in brown.



Supplies: Cream, red and kraft card stock, Verve-Joyous Noel,  embossing folder, ribbon, gems


Stop by the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge blog to see all the fabulous design team creations.

Cheers,
Nina

    Great card, I love the background you created, the white embossing looks so fresh! Is that a handwritten sentiment? If so, how amazing! I'm so excited to be creating every week with you at Merry Monday!

    Love the dry and heat embossing on your card Nina. It has a lovely serene feel about it. The simple ribbon is a lovely addition.
