Happy Monday everyone! Today I am honored to be a guest designer for this week at the Merry Monday Challenge. I was chosen as the “Top Pick” for their challenge #72 so that awarded me a designer spot. Thanks girls!
For this week we have an inspiration photo and instructions to use Green, White and Woodgrain:
How fun is that! Here is my card as guest designer for this week:
Do you recognize the branches that my ornaments are hanging from? They are the tree stamp images from the “Evergreen” stamp set. I turned them sideways! And if you look closely at the photo below, you will see all the shimmer & shine on my ornaments:
I inked the snowflake images using VersaMark Ink first and then inked my stamp again in Gumball Green Ink. By inking both inks together, the ink stays wet so you can emboss it. I sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder and set with my Heat Tool. While the snowflakes were still hot, I sprinkled a 2nd time using Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and used my Heat Tool a 2nd time.
I’ve also entered this card in 2 more challenges:

Beautiful card, Debbie! Those snowflakes are gorgeous and I bet they look even better in real life!
Love the sparkle and shine on the ornaments, Debbie! And love the out of the box thinking with the branches – so cool!
Very interesting design…and I really like it!The sideways tree tops are really different and fun…almost don't look like trees…great idea! And the snowflakes…I do my stamping/embossing the same way…and the extra layer of Iridescent Ice is really lovely! Great job!
what a cool idea and a great way to use that tree! your snowflakes are lovely. Thank you for being a guest designer this week, Debbie.
What a lovely card! Such an absolute JOY! Rich, glitzy yet elegant and woodsy at the same time. This is so Boutique!! I can just see these sold here in the Pacific Northwest at the little gift shop at the top of Snoqualmie waterfalls! I MUST pin this as I may HAVE to case this card… even though I have none of the supplies LOL, it is so Great!
