Merry Monday #48
Hi there
It is time for another Merry Monday Challenge and I'm thrilled that Lesley has asked me to be the Featured Designer for February. This week is a colour challenge and it was a bit of an eeek! moment when I first saw the colours, but they are actually a fab combo. Here they are:
I have stamped this lovely olde world Santa image in Basic Gray and used the other two colours in a supporting role. I couldn't find a sentiment that would fit nicely into the curved Bitty Banner framelit, so I made my own with MS Word using the WordArt option to curve the text in the right direction. You can get the Stampin' Up! RGB colours from my Tips and Hints page so you can match the colours perfectly. The mat was hand cut using the outer edge of the framelit as a template. A bit of Dazzling Diamonds sparkle on the brim of his hat and some bling finishes it off.
I have kept inside really clean and simple for this one.

YAY!!! I’m so glad Lesley asked you to be a Feature Designer this month. It’s so good to see another Melbourne girl on the team!

Very clever you to print out your sentiment in wordart – love it! So glad you’ll be playing along with us!
