This Merry Monday sketch intrigued me so I thought I would give it a shot.
Couldn't help but use this wonderful Echo Park paper again - just love the aqua and red together with the bit of pink thrown in.
Had a tag in my very large "to be used later pile" so pulled it out for this sketch. The fun font of the Merry Christmas sentiment from Verve's Merry and Bright set matched the paper perfectly and a few buttons and snowflake stamps later, the sentiment panel was good to go. I ended up skewing the panel just a bit as it had more visual interest that way. The card didn't feel "grounded" for some reason so I pulled out my glue pen, ran it across the bottom and added some glitter. Hard to see, but in my mind it helped - but then my mind is a scary place sometimes LOL!
Half way through the week and December is looming at the end of it - yikes!! Finishing up my Christmas letter today so may actually get my cards out by the first week of December this year - happy sigh :)
Enjoy your day!

What a sweet color combo, Marisa. I love your skewed tag and the pretty paper banners. Great idea to add the glitter strip, too, I never think to add glitter!
