Merry Monday #260

Hello friends.  This week's challenge at Merry Monday is brought to us by Debbie and it's a sketch challenge!


I flipped my design to be horizontal rather than vertical and came up with this:



This challenge was harder for me than I thought it would be, and I think mostly because I had my mind set on using a couple pieces of DSP from SU!'s Merry Little Christmas paper pack, and had to play around with it quite a bit to finally get a design that I actually liked.  I used a Darice Snowflake embossing folder on my layer of Hawaiian Shores cs, then added the DSP, and a couple of die cut snowflakes from PTI's Fancy Flakes.  My sentiment is embossed in silver using PTI's Cutaway Tags: Winter and I finished off the card with some white bakers twine and lots of little rhinestones.

Can't wait to see what YOU come up with using this sketch!  Check out how the rest of the DT was inspired HERE and then play along with us!


Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
