Going Back for Merry Monday

Even though the Merry Monday blog is on hiatus until the New Year they've left a link open so we can go back and use any past Merry Monday sketch. I decided to use a fairly recent one that I remember thinking might be a bit challenging for me.

Banners seem to be all the rage right now but I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of them. That's why when I first saw this sketch I thought uh-oh, I don't know if I can do this LOL For this card I used some retired DSP I had called Ski Slope, I really like the colors in it. I did some paper piercing along the bottom decorative edge and to help keep the white from looking so plain I embossed it with the Swiss Dots EF.

I'm also going to link this up at the Jingle Belles blog. They are also on hiatus but are leaving a link up for any Christmas or winter projects.

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is having a great day! It's supposed to snow here later day, finally!!
