Merry AND Bright

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.
