Merry...Merry...Merry...






 Hello my CMHCD friends,

For today I am sharing our next challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare. I have a TicTacToe "Serenity" Color Palette to share with ya'll.  Here is my card for today, enjoy! 

I recently received a couple of new stamps. 
One was the Concord & 9th 'On the Diagonal' stamp set. I didn't get quite get good enough so I decided to cut the panel up into letters. Two fonts were used to make the word 'Christmas'. The fatter letters have bows and are placed at an angle. The thin fonts are positioned straight and do not have bows. I also added adhesive foam to the back of the letters for dimension. There is a method to my madness. 😏

I really took advantage of the color silver. The little silver houses on the DP helped with this inspiration. I added silver everywhere; even the string I used to hang the letters is silver! However, I do believe it works because the color scheme is a bit unique for a Christmas card.

The snowflake that is dotting the 'I' is a random button that has been floating around my various craft areas for YEARS! I have no idea where it came from but I finally decided to use it on this card. It was a bit brown from age and getting handled for four years. I spruced it up by coating the snowflake with VersaMark ink and added glittery embossing powder then heat set.
Now my random little snowflake has a home.

Well, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy day to visit my corner of the internet. I do hope you will join us at Color My Heart Color Dare and play along.

Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and stay healthy. Until then take care and we will see you soon!

This is a fabulous card Shawna. I’m so glad you didn’t throw away the striped panel as the letters look great! And using two different fonts is such fun...I might give this a try! X

Love the striped letters and your placement and combination of two different fonts and the add of foam for dimension is perfect. Unique and pretty card.
