Plaid at Merry Monday

Christmas cards, last year I had about 25 or so in my stash at the end of October. Between hubs, myself and my Dad more than 80 were mailed out.  I did a lot of stamping, cutting and coloring in November.  This year I hope to have to do less so I can breath!


This week at Merry Monday # 187 the theme is Plaid.  I have no plaid paper, I have had no luck creating plaid patterns, but then I looked at my wall of wood stamps and I found the Hero Arts Large Plaid Background stamp.To counter all those straight lines, I added some scallops.




Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely card! The green plaid looks perfect with the scallop, and the deer die cut with the gold glitter is to die for!
