Merry & Bright - DTC #44









This is not quite my last Christmas card for the season. I have almost all of my cards ready for mailing so this one will probably be set aside for 2020. For a different challenge, I made a card using black and white stripes and liked it so well that I decided to make another, also using black and white with broader stripes than this card.


The biweekly challenge is open at Double Trouble #44. The challenge begins today, Monday, December 2, through Sunday, December 15, 2019. To play along, here are the requirements:

Troublemaker's Thing 1 (required): "Wrap It Up!" Use holiday paper on your project.
Double Dare's Thing 2 (optional): Link with our partner, Artsy Stamper Challenge #5
Twisted Sister's Thing 3 (optional): "Tie It Up!" with a ribbon, string, etc.










Be sure to visit the challenge blogs and play along!

  1. Love this card Melanie! Black and White is my favorite. I just love black and white gingham ribbon, too! When I have it, I use it up on all my cards. LOL Thanks for entering our Artsystamper Challenge with your card. Glad to be collaborating with Double Trouble!

    Hugs,
