I wanted to try another monochromatic card for the Hero Arts blog challenge, so I combined it with Kazan's Sketch 31 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I thought this Season's Greeting Collage stamp worked very well with the four panel layout.
I stamped it in ColorBox Chalk Dark Peony on a piece of DP from the Black Market Paper Society Letters from Paradise collection. Clear embossing helps the image stand out more against the color variation in the DP. I cut it into four panels and attached it with foam mounting tape to another piece of the DP from the same collection.
The snowflake was punched from the same metallic paper used for the card base. I colored a clear adhesive gem with a metallic marker to coordinate the colors. I finished with Lilac Shimmerz glitter paint over the center scene and holly leaves.
very cute card! I like the monochromatic look! very cute images on the card!

Love your card. Is the collage stamp new? I didn't see it on their site or didn't look in the right place. tfs
