Make It Merry

When I saw the Merry Monday Challenge - "Use some type of vehicle or transportation on a Christmas Card", I couldn't wait to use my new Make It Merry stamp set!  This stamp has the cutest little motor scooter on it!  I used the turned the sketch from Mojo Monday sideways to create my card.



I stamped the scooter with Black ink and then again in Cranberry.  I cut out the cranberry pieces and applied them to my scooter.   I still felt like the scooter was plain so I colored it in using the ShinHan Touch Twin Turquoise Blue Marker using the Colorless Blending Pen to lighten it up a bit.  Now my scooter was ready to haul some Christmas goodies!  I used Glacier ink to stamp the tree and colored the ribbon blending the ShinHan Touch Twin markers of Carmine and Clay to give more of a cranberry color to the ribbon.

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
