Happy Friday! Today starts a new challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long (CSAYL32). This week the challenge is to dress your card for the cold... use 4 or more layers on your creation.
Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Beccy's Place.
I chose to work with Beccy's wonderful Candy Canes image, which I paper pieced and dressed with lots of layers. This was a fun card to make. Besides lots of layers, I used 3 different oval dies and and punched corners. Embellishments include a white ribbon border and new SU! candy dots. Although barely visible in the photo, the holly berries were coated with liquid glass.
I will be entering this card in the following fab challenges:
The Glory of Christmas Challenge #15 -- Anything Goes
Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #40 -- Something New (I used my new favorite - SU! candy dots.)
Oozak Challenge #21 -- Anything Goes/diecuts/punches

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!! I LOVE the layout and those pieced candy canes (and leaves)! They must have taken forever, but it was so worth it (says the one who didn't spend a lot of time cutting out little tiny pieces). Also glimpsed your pumpkins from your previous post and they are stunning! I love pumpkins and did I mention that I love this card? : )

Very clever card Pat, I love how you have pieced the image together, it looks fabulous. I particularly like the papers you chose for the candy canes, I think they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
I love these polka dot candy canes, Pat!! What a gorgeous holiday card!!
ReplyDeleteI love these polka dot candy canes, Pat!! What a gorgeous holiday card!!
ReplyDeleteLoved those candy canes, and I bet this one was fiddly to piece (I'm not great with paper piecing). You did a marvelous job on this, and love all the oval layers. Great touch to use the photo corners to frame it. I was enjoying the card, and thinking "Now what diecut is this?" and realized you created the effect with the photo corners. Really pretty & all the pattern papers combined so beautifully to create this nifty card. TFS
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that with all these layers, you've still managed to keep it CAS! That's some real fussy cutting on the candy canes! But it's well worth the effort!
