Merry Monday #245
I like to play along with Merry Monday as often as I can so I'll have a decent number of Christmas cards ready at the end of the year. This week they're asking us to use kraft cardstock.
I like the look of pencils on kraft so I gold embossed the image from PTI and colored it with Inktense Pencils. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I cut the panel with MFT's scalloped rectangle die and popped it up on foam. Just to show you how fickle photography can be: I laid this card down because the light from my window didn't leave a shadow like it usually does. The colors came out well but the top scallops don't show up. Maybe I need to stand on my head and hold my tongue just right. ;)

The gold accents are so pretty. This is wonderful Bobby!
Very elegant - love the gold with the traditional red and green! Thanks for playing along with us at Merry Monday.

Beautiful colouring on kraft, Bobby! I think I need to get those Intense Pencils. Mine are just too light and don't add much colour. Yours are vibrant and beautiful. Hmmm ... more shopping. :) I know what you mean about photographing ... some times it is aerobatic! :) xx
Your photographs supersede mine a million times over; I think your card is well 'posed' and 'poised'! Such a beauty with the gold/red (yayyy for pencils) on kraft! Love this!

Beautiful card!! Lol, maybe I'll try that the next time I photograph a card!! �� It's so good to hear from you!! One of these days between 3am and 4 I'll find the time to sit down and catch up on all my friends' blogs!!! ��
Those bright red poinsettia are gorgeous against the kraft, Bobby ... and so pretty with the scalloped panel! Well done doing the necessary bending, twisting and sticking your tongue out to get such a great photo!! Hugs, Anita :)
