Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #105 - Use a word or words and decorate each letter on your Christmas card.

Hi there! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter :-) Have you promised yourself never to eat chocolate again?

I haven't had an egg, but have to admit, it is not for health reasons. LOL I only eat dark chocolate that is kept in the fridge or freezer. My favorite egg is a dark chocolate marshmallow Easter egg, but I haven't been able to find them for some years! So I am safe. 

For this Merry Monday Challenge, Sue has asked us to use decorated letters on our Christmas card !! What fun :-)  

I decided to go a little shabby this time. I have always thought myself to be a shabby girl at heart, but the cards I have made in the last year have a much 'cleaner' look....hmmmmm????? 

The base card is sage Bazzill, I have inked the edges with white pigment ink.  The pink layer is a music DP, and the white is Neenah that has had a little Golden fluid acrylic cream and white paint scrapped over them with a palette knife. The edges are distressed with a Making Memories distressing tool.

I have several foam alphabet sets from Making Memories purchased eight or so years ago. My favorite is the Philadelphia alphabet, it has upper and lower case. On a piece of Neenah I inked five 'bars' of watered die ink. I stamped the letters, firstly in black Versafine, then overstamped with a good layer of white acrylic paint. I love the effect. I cut out each individual letter and mounted them on foam.

The holly leaves and berries are from hand punches, and the sentiment is SSS.
