Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #110

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
