Merry Monday # 104
It's time for me to get a head start on Christmas cards again via the Merry Monday challenge blog. They really make me think of new and different things, and that's good.
As you can see by the graphic, this time we have a color challenge using slate, kraft, white or cream. It seemed like such and odd color combo that at first I was stumped. But then I looked over all the wonderful things the design team had to offer and the wheels started turning...
I came up with this card. All that blank space to the right of the angel needed to be filled in and I tried this and that before settling on this kraft colored ribbon at an angle with a bow. Then I put some glitter on my angel for a bit of added interest. I'm rather pleased with how it came out.

So elegant--love it! I have that angel & always struggle with how to use it.
This is so simple & beautiful! Love the ribbon (kraft ribbon...must find some!) and the glitter on the angel is just the exact right touch!
Very classic and very beautiful, QJ!! I'm sorry I haven't been around as much. With Easter and company, it will be much the same for a while, but it's all good! Happy Spring!! Hugs, Darnell

Excellent Christmas card Judy! Love the glitter, which can be seen, and love the bow. Nice touch.

This is one sophisticated card with the colors you have going on here. Really like the angel outline and the gold bow is perfect. I think Blogger is messing with me...I know I was a follower, but didn't see me, so I tried to join. It let me. I may be following twice. Who knows? TFS such a lovely card. Hugs
Beautiful!! Love that added bow - so pretty!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Merry Monday.
