Merry Monday Challenge #37

Hey Everyone

It’s Monday, so that means there’s a new sketch for Lesley’s Merry Monday Challenge!  With only a few weeks left until Christmas this is a great opportunity to get your Christmas cards underway.

Here’s Lesley’s fabulous sketch this week:

I wanted a two-tone bauble but couldn’t find my Always Artichoke marker. So I stamped the image in Always Artichoke Ink and then used my blender pen to wipe away the colour from the centre of the bauble.  I then coloured the centre with my River Rocker marker.  I may not’ve completely wiped away all of the Always Artichoke so the remaining colour has mixed with the River Rock and left a marbling sort of effect.  I kind of liked it, so I kept it and used it on my card.  Here’s what I came up with:

We have two new Merry Makers joining the team this week – Susan Joyce and Allisa Chilton.  I’m a big fan of theirs and am thrilled that I will be designing alongside them.  Head over to the challenge and check out the gorgeous cards the Merry Makers have created this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Narelle
