Merry and Bright

I've got another very simple Christmas card to share with you today.  I'm using another of the panels I created a few weeks ago.  The panel was inked with a few shades of Distress Ink, and then sprized with some Distress Spritzes.

Unfortunately in my inky haze I did not bother to write down all the colors, but the honest truth is that when you work with Distress, even if you use exactly the same colors/products, you're going to get different results each time.  And honestly, maybe you're not a super inky person, this card translates to whatever background you want to use.

Anyway, I die cut the Merry and Bright sentiment from Tim Holtz's Bold Text Christmas set from the center of my panel.  I then added som stars using the Everyday Art Element Stencils and Gold Lunar Paste.

A pice of Gold Matte cardstock was added to my card base, and then I popped the completed panel up over top.

Again, you don't need a super artsy panel, a simple inked one would do, solid cardstock, a gorgeous patterned paper, this one easily translates to whatever your style.
