Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #121

It's monday and you know what that means, it is time for a new Merry Monday Christmas Challenge. Wendy is our hostess this week and her challenge is to Use Pinecones & Greens with Plaid ribbon on your card.



 I wanted simple layers for my card, I used some distress inks to darken the edges of both layers. I stamped the sentiment and pinecones in brown then the pine in green. I had this fun plaid ribbon but it was a little too bright so I darkened it with the same distress inks. I have the center panel popped up with foam tape.



Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, Designer Paper – Fancy Pants, Papertrey Ink - Peaceful Pinecones, ribbon.

The Merry Monday design team has some great inspiration waiting for you over on the blog... Stop by, and play along.

Thank you for visiting :),

  11. Beautiful, Nina -

    and what a clever idea to darken the ribbon with distress ink. It distresses me to tell you that I have not used my inks much. I need to dare me one day in the future.
