The end of May is quickly approaching, I am still in awe of
how fast this year is going. It’s Monday and that means we have a new Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. This week Debbie is challenging us to Use
Christmas inspired food on your Christmas Project.
I am not sure if Candy Canes are really food but considering
how they were a food staple for me during the holiday season when I was growing
up they certainly should be. It is a
good thing my parents did not look to closely at the tree at Christmas and I
still don’t know if they ever noticed that there was never any to take off the
tree when all the decorations came down.
I coloured the candy cane with my Tombow markers and clear
glitter pen. I tried to use a gold flake pen for the ribbon but it did not want
to play along so I filled in the little blank spots with the glitter pen but it
looks a little patchy in the picture (it blends nice on the actual card). I
popped the panel up with foam tape then finished with a stamped sentiment and adding some twine.
Supplies: White and brown card stock, Designer Paper – DCWV,
Kaiser Craft – Candy Cane, Verve-holiday Treats, twine.
Stop by the Merry Monday Card Challenge blog and take a look at all the great creations by the design team, and maybe play along.
Cheers,
Nina
