I'm popping in to post a card for another of the Waltzingmouse Pajama Party challenges, this time to use an older Christmas set. The DT used Candy Jar Christmas, which I do have (and also haven't used yet), so I pulled it out to make this card.
I stamped the candy canes with black ink, colored in sections with a red marker, and then used a glue pen to add sparkly red glitter. I hand cut the candy canes, completely forgetting that I had the dies! {smack forehead} I remembered when I considered using the jar image and pulled out the matching dies. Ooops! I did use a die for the bow. :)
After stamping, I colored the bow with Copic markers to add shading and then coated it in glitter. Love the sparkle! I stamped a Vintage Labels 4 image on another diecut in Hawaiian Shores ink, and then the sentiment in Pure Poppy ink. I love how the bow fits nicely around the sentiment.
I embossed the Hawaiian Shores panel with a Decorative Dots folder from Stampin' Up. It almost looks like falling snow. I glued it to a white card base and then added the layered candy cane piece. It makes a very sweet Christmas card! (pun intended) :)
