It took a lot of thought to create the card I made for Beccy's Place Day # 8 Challenge in her Month of Holiday Cards. In fact, I probably put too much thought into it. The theme was Non-Christmas Christmas cards, thinking outside the box to make a holiday card out of a non-holiday stamp. And then this morning, back from the weekend stamp show, I flipped through my box of stamps and came across the perfect stamp to use.
And the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #133
would work perfectly with it to create this masculine Christmas card.

| Here's the stamp I used. Just did a bit of masking and then added Merry Christmas instead. |
I'm pretty happy with how the card turned out.
And, since mustaches are so trendy right now, I am also entering the card in the Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week.
Additional Challenges:
Christmas Card Challenge #49 - Anything Goes
Glitter n Sparkle Challenge # 162 - Use some red
**********
My Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #423 card is another Christmas card, using the same CTMH papers and Christmas stamps.
The tree on the right caught most of the glitter mist. Must have had prevailing easterly winds, although, my craft table looks more like a tornado hit it this morning!
Have a great day!
Great cards! Thanks for sharing with us at Heart2Heart!
