Merry Monday #260 Bits of Holiday Magic!

Today's Merry Monday Challenge is a sketch challenge, which is always fun! Usually the hardest part is deciding which images to use, but in this case, it wasn't hard at all! Two Feet Deep still remains one of my favorite holiday stamp sets of all time! It has made an appearance in one way or another in my holiday projects since I bought it! 

                                                  

I just love today's sketch because it lends itself to so many possibilities without being too cluttered! Didn't Debbie come up with a fabulous sketch? You can see the rules and details of the challenge HERE as well as see what great designs the other gals came up with! 

To begin, I die cut the sled image and then stamped the brown wooden portion and heat embossed the metal details using silver embossing powder for a more realistic look. The greenery piece is attached to the sled using foam squares. I used the trio of snowflake images that are included in the set and stamped them repeatedly in white onto a piece of Kraft cardstock. I just love how the Fancy Flakes Dies are the exact same design. I used one of those on the side next to the sled.

Once all of the snowflakes were stamped and dried, I added the sled image on top. This is adhered to a piece of music patter paper that I just love using this time of year. I created a similar card YEARS ago using this same paper and stamp set that you can see HERE. Just by changing up the colors and a few details, you can really change the feel of your design!

I layered everything on top of a red card base for some nice definition. There is a secondbutton snowflake nestled down in the die cut snowflake for some added interest as well.

The sentiment is stamped in white as well and then added to the card using foam squares. A few sequins finish it off with some added sparkle! I hope you get a chance to play along this week! Thanks for fluttering by!
