Silent Night

Where does the time go? We've had company here for the last
week so I haven't been able to blog or create much at all.
I was up early again (4am?) so I headed to my craft room to make
this card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas card challenge.
The theme this week is Silent Night. I had an idea as soon as I saw
the challenge and have been eager to make it. 


This was even easier to make than I thought it would be. Originally I was
going to tear some whisper white card stock and sparkle the edges 
to make the snow but I really liked how it looked with just the sponging 
of the night sky so I left it. 

In fact, this is so easy to make I think I'll include it in my Christmas card
stack class later this month.


Also, I would like to say Congratulations to last week's challenge winner
and to the Honorable Mentions!

And thank you for choosing my card as one of the Honorable Mentions. It was
a super fun challenge that has opened up a whole new world of stamping to me.
The world of neon colors - love them!

supplies:
all from Stampin' Up!
card stock: whisper white, basic gray
stamp sets: Lovely as a Tree, Special Season, Gorgeous Grunge
ink: night of navy, whisper white, stazon
punch: 1" circle punch 


Happy Stampin'
and thanks so much for visiting!
