This week's Merry Monday challenge #262 is centered around the theme of gifts. It was a great opportunity to ink the last image from Christmas in the Making I hadn't yet used. Because this stamp set is not translated, I went hunting for a French sentiment in another set and found something perfect in Christmas Pines. The size filled out the space nicely and the font had a retro touch that matched my stamped image nicely. For my coloring, I went old-school with Prismacolor pencils. Because of the bulky button, I decided to use the Envelope Punch Board to make an envelope in a slightly larger size.
