Guest Designing at Merry Monday

Hello, a few weeks ago I won the "hearts" challenge over at Merry Monday, and as a result I am thrilled to participate in this challenge as a Guest Designer.  Thank you so much Bonnie for choosing my card as the winner among such wonderful entries. I very much appreciate it.

On to the current Merry Monday challenge. Debbie has asked us to use Light Green, Dark Green and Red on our Christmas cards.

 I recently got my hands on a hexagon cover-plate die and I thought I would try making a tree from the shapes. I colored the hexies with copic markers and added some die cut bows with a Memory Box die. The star is an epoxy sticker.  The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Joyful set. The cardstock/base is from Stampin Up. 


Come give the challenge a try here. Remember summer challenges run for two weeks.  I am looking forward to seeing your creations :-).

Thanks so much for stopping by!
