We have a new challenge at CAS Christmas.
Christine is our host this month and she's chosen
Our Guest Designer this month is the very talented
Jane (Onions and Paper)
She and our wonderful Design Team have lots of
inspiration for you.
I've stamped these candy canes with Memento Black ink and
colored in with Sharpies, adding some stripes in between.
To make them shine like candy canes do, I've smacked them with
Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder.
They've been cut with the matching dies and assembled on a
dry embossed snowflake.
I added some holly, pine, berries, bow and a tiny tag.
Hope you'll put a tag on a Christmas card and join us at
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Such a pretty Christmas card, Bonnie! I love the fun bright colors on the candy canes and your snowflake is the perfect background for it! I also love how you added shine to the candy cane...it must be so pretty in person! Barb xx
ReplyDeleteYour embossed snowflake background is perfect for your sweet candy canes, Bonnie. Clear heat embossing them to give them that authentic shine is a fabulous touch.
ReplyDeleteSweet ... no pun intended!:) Love these bright and beautiful large candy canes. They look amazing over top of the dry embossed snowflake ... so much fanastic texture! And I love the sweet tag adorned with holly and berries. xx
ReplyDeleteLove this creative idea for the tag challenge. It's so cheerful, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThat embossed snowflake is the perfect backdrop. This one looks so fun to do too.
I love this beautiful design, Bonnie! Using the beautiful dry embossed snowflake as a subtle and elegant backdrop is such a wonderful idea. The snowflakes works like a sunburst which draws your eyes right to the candy canes in the center. The clear heat-embossing makes the candy canes look real. I love this kind of attention to details to make a difference. :-)
