We are featuring the Merry Cafe stamp set this month. This is a stamp set that has all the holidays covered, but I had a little creative fun to bring you a rather striking and BRIGHT Christmas card.
I used some masking tape on my card front to mask off diagonal lines and then sponged each from bold to barely there, in Lemon Lime Twist. I adore that colour!
The Coffee Cups Framelits were perfect to die cut out my cup elements. Two of the stamps in this set are so tiny, it would be easy to overlook them, but they certainly made my coffee cup look and feel festive.
I love to decorate my cards all the way through and showed the same love to the inside of this card before finishing with coordinating embellishments.
So that's it folks, my last post for this Artisan year. But before I go, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome in the 2018 Artisan Design Team, one of whom is my amazingly talented friend, Susan Wong, who is returning to share her beautiful work with us again! I can't wait to see what this new look team have in store for us all. I just know they will knock it out of the park in 2018!
