{MTSC44} A Red Christmas Tree?


It's time for another sketch challenge!
And this one is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge



Isn't this a unique and fun sketch?! Thanks to Mercy Kerin for such a great design again this week! The stamp set I've used is Patterned Pines, a level 1 Hostess set from Stampin' Up! The designer paper I've used on the background is flocked and from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty series.

When I asked MW (Mr Wonderful) what he thought of my card. He said "I think the trees should have been green." OK... I prefer *green* trees too, but don't you think the red looks better with the background paper? :)

Now, I'm sure you're as anxious as I am to see what Mercy's other Muses have created:

Cindy Haffner
•Pam Varnell
Julie Lacey
Crystal Birr
Jackie Pedro
Jessica Diedrich
Shannan Teubner
Silke Ledlow
(October Guest Muse)

Now it's your turn! Simply create a card or scrapbook layout using Mercy's sketch, and link your creation with Mister Linky. Be sure to use the keyword MTSC44 when uploading to a public gallery. Mercy will personally check out each submission, so don't be surprised if she contacts you about being a guest designer for an entire month of Tuesdays!

I'm so glad you stopped by today!

Happy Stamping & Smiles 2 U!

I'm guessing then he didn't like those pink trees that came out way back when then either. Ü

I agree that the trees go perfectly with your bg paper and I live them!
