I knew immediately that I wanted to use the Flourishes Peace & Joy set for the Merry Monday challenge to let your sentiment be the star. I thought the simple, versatile Viva la Verve Sketch was perfect for it.
I white embossed Joy & then sponged on Distress Ink evergreen bough & festive berries. Stickles was added to the letters & I colored in the holly leaves with a white gel pen. The MFT Framing Flourishes die cuts, cut with my Big Shot, made a great frame in keeping with the stamp design. The holly image from the set was white embossed on the card front & a strip of dry embossed vellum was attached in the center. The Joy panel is mounted with foam tape.  |
