Merry Monday Friday

Hibernating (or attempting to) through February meant no Christmas cards were made, despite thinking I might attempt to make them throughout the year to prevent crunch-time stress. But now it's March, and Merry Monday has an easy prompt, so here I am! 

Red and green! I can do that. In fact... I made a one-layer card. Rare for me! And it only took fourteen stamps, six inks, and one embossing powder! 

I am ridiculously happy with this card. Although a lot of the credit must go to Jennifer McGuire and her tutorial on Stretch Your Stamps 2 for using floral builder stamps. There's a whole lot of multi-layer stamping and masking going on here -- very soon after I got this set, I decided I could live with the fact that I will never master lining the layers up perfectly, and that's okay. 
Hooray! That's three Christmas cards for 2015! :D 

 Supplies: Neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock, WPlus9 Pretty Poinsettia & Papertrey Ink Thing Big Favourites #8 stamps, Memento ladybug, rhubarb stalk, bamboo leaves & cottage ivy, Brilliance galaxy gold & Versafine inks, pirate's gold embossing powder

    Wow! This is gorgeous!! Now I want to know how you did those flowers! Some day I'll actually sign up for an on line class so that I won't look at it until at least 6 months down the road. LOL!

    Love this card. The stamping is beautiful. I like 2, 3, 4-step stamps, but I don't always line them up right. My cards look more like Picasso did them.

    HOW IS IT that the most CAS cards end up having a way longer supply list than the fussiest ones? This is absolutely a masterpiece - so much dimension in one layer, it's freaking stunning!
