Memory Box Christmas card



Hi everyone!

Here's the challenge this week at Merry Monday:




I see lot of pink, purple, and even a touch of blue in this photo. Very pretty!

I decided to stick with all pink. 

Since I had out my Memory Box Poinsettia Bloom trio dies from a card I had just made a few days ago, I used them again for this one. I even had the pink paper still sitting there..... I'm not too good at cleaning up my messes I guess!

I inlaid the flowers, then came back with some outlines on top. A few pearls, sequins and the sentiment from SU's Wondrous Wreath, and it was done!

Also entering this at Jingle Bells:




For each card linked up, a donation will be made to the Susan B. Komen Foundation...head on over and link up for a great cause!

This is anything but boring, Laurie! I love how you've inlaid some of the flowers and built on that with the open petals! A perfect CAS card! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday!

I think this is gorgeous Laurie! Would you consider adding it to the Jingle Belles challenge? Each card linked up for their *PINK* challenge counts as a $4 donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Your card would be an awesome addition! :)
