Merry and Type Triple stamped

With January having five Saturday's it is time for the challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown to revisit old challenges with our Pick A Previous feature. This time it's a previous sketch. To help you there is even an archive of all our previous sketches. I chose a golden oldie from almost three years ago, February 2012




I have given it a very up to date makeover though, thanks to the colour challenge at The Colour Throwdown



Here is my thoroughly contemporary take on the sketch. I stamped the graphics from the set Merry and Type with the triple stamping technique. I needed to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig for this and I don't mind admitting this is actually my second attempt after I stamped the very last image upside down on my first one!
I have replaced the sentiment banner of the sketch with a glitzy ribbon and added a few coordinating gems



 In the end I decided to 'rescue' my first attempt by turning the sketch upside down. Here you can see both cards

    Both cards are super! I love these contemporary colours and the way you've got the sentiment as the focal point. Great work!

    I agree with Wanda - you did a great job with the subway art look. The unexpected color scheme for a Christmas card is a treat for the eyes. :)
