It was impossible for me to get a good photo of this. The striped paper is foiled vellum
and the camera just picked up a bit of the shine.
The Power Poppy digital candy canes are glossed but the photo doesn't
show any of that shine. It does show where the Crystal Glaze made some of the red run.
Oh, well...Sweet Wishes anyway.

This is beautiful, Bonnie! Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
Great contrast with candy canes, beautifully colored, of course! against that vivid striped paper. An eye catching card.
HI Bonnie I think you caught the shine perfectly! This is a beautiful Christmas card! I really like the way you have cased the sketch and I've saved it to my inspo folder! Take care and enjoy the weather we are having!

The candy canes are gorgeous Bonnie, and I love the striped foiled vellum, so rich and makes a wonderful background, and the extra layer with the falling snow embossing looks really pretty too. x
Your talent for design just gets better and better! I love that your cards are all so different and so well done! There is a lot of rich contrast in this which always appealed to me. Beautiful card!
I'm imagining all the shimmer and shine from the foil and glassy accents Bonnie, and this card is definitely SWEET! Love it!! Hugs. :0)
Anything shiny and glossy is a photo’s nemesis, but I think you did great capturing its beauty. Fabulous card and colouring. I’m sure it’s even more amazing IRL.
Oooooh, I just LOVE this! What a fabulous image and the striped paper is delightful! A wonderful sweet creation!
Beautiful Christmas card!
lovely chrimasy Christmas card, I know exactly what you mean about phographing shiny cards, so hard xx
The foiled vellum is awesome and the candy canes are beautiful and shiny. I love this card, Bonnie.
What a cool card design! I know this is one of those cards that looks awesome in hand, but you almost feel like giving up trying to photograph it. All the shine and gloss is beautiful and I love the candy cane image.
WOW Bonnie this card is just gorgeous... bet it looks amazing in real life, hugs Robyn
the card is a stunner even without seeing the shimmer and shine. I am so envious of your fussy cutting, I always have to cut close and use a marker to hide the flaws.
Well it looks fantastic to me... I'm having a lot of trouble lately with photos... Maybe it's the new glasses! Love the combination of elements here and that such a lovely stamp Bonnie
Beautiful Christmas card Bonnie. Love that sweet image and your coloring is always perfect. Love the shine from the pretty paper and I know the glossy accents makes those sweet candy canes shinee too.
Nothing wrong with this at ALL! I see the foil, and thought someone had tried licking these peppermint sticks - they look that real, Bonnie!
Gosh I love that stamp! You've made it the star, for sure!

I'm glad the camera picked up some shine - it gives us a better idea of the paper used. I love that paper especially with the candy canes. Gingerbread and candy canes are great for Christmas. As always, your card is delightful!

Well this is definitely candy cane land. I can imagine the shine from this very special foiled vellum. Not enough to steal the show on this beautifully painted focal point. Love the snowflake embossing, such a special design too. xx
totally gorgeous.
