Alternate Monday Stampin' Up! Brightly Gleaming Card

Hi Stampers, It’s Alternate Monday day. That means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop. I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design. Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.

Stampin’ Up! Brightly Gleaming Card:

The recipe:

Card base: Very Vanilla 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Small mat: Copper 2-3/4 x 4-1/8

Art piece: Very Vanilla die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die that measures 2-5/8 x 4

Banner: Brightly Gleaming 2 x 5-1/2 punched at the bottom with the Banner Triple Punch

The details:

Stamp two of the holly images onto Very Vanilla card stock using Black Tuxedo Memento Ink from the Brightly Gleaming stamp set
Color in the leaves with your Mossy Meadow Stampin Blends
Color in the berries with your Night of Navy Stampin Blends

Fussy cut the images out with your paper snips

The Sentiment:

Stamp your sentiment from the Brightly Gleaming stamp onto the Very Vanilla art piece with Black Tuxedo Memento Ink
