Merry Monday Sketch

I'm excited to be Guest Designer this week for the Merry Monday challenge #61. It can be found at Always Playing With Paper and is a Christmas challenge. Here is the sketch for this week:

It was an unexpected sketch and I had to do a bit of thinking to decide what I would create.

I used a set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry to make my partial swag or it could be considered a part of a wreath. It was made with two of the three peg stamps in the set and I stamped and stamped off the holly.

Hope you'll play along this week and get some of those Christmas cards made early. You can be sure Lesley the Design Team have some really creative and beautiful cards made.

Recipe:
Stamps-Rubber Stamp Tapestry/Ornamental Holly, Hot off the Press/Christmas Words (sentiment)
Paper-PTI white cardstock, Stampin'Up! Cherry Cobbler
Ink-Memento/Bahama Blue and Bamboo Leaves, Stampin'Up! Cherry Cobbler

Christmas Wreath

I've made my usual Friday card for the Queen for the Day on Splitcoaststampers. This week's Queen is Kathleen aka Kathleen Lammie. This is the card I cased.

I used a Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamp set (peg stamps) called Ornament Holly. I love those peg stamps because you can just make any design you please with them. It doesn't have to be a wreath.
