Christmas cards are my favorite to make & I work on them throughout the year. Last year I discovered the Merry Monday Challenge Blog--made for me--LOL! So far this year I've pulled out stamps that didn't get used last year. Today's card is made with Art Impressions wreath stamped in VersaMagic Jumbo Java on cream cardstock. I used my neglected Liquid Pearls for the berries. Something seemed to be missing when I laid the red Penny Black die cut Joy on the card. The cream die cut was on my table & the red one landed on it when I took it off-- ah-ha--just what I needed!
