We ended up having about 12" of heavy wet snow here in Massachusetts yesterday - even after shoveling and snow blowing the stuff for an hour after work - it still put me in the holiday spirit to make this card!
There's a stocking on it for the Merry Monday Challenge
My Sentiment was chosen for the CAS-ology cue card AND
My sketch is this week's Seize the Sketch
I'll be back tomorrow with yet another Christmas card!
Stamps: sentiment from Seasons of Love, stocking from Sewing Box Christmas - Waltzingmouse
Paper: white, pure poppy - PTI, DP Sn@p Simple Stories
Ink: Archival Jet Black
Accessories: Maraschino Twine - The Twinery, enamel spots - My Minds Eye, stitched mat rectangles - Lil'Inker Designs, foam dots.
Fun stocking and of course I adore the stripes! Thanks for joining in at STS!
