Take my word for it, this looks so much better IRL! And here's a close-up to show you what I mean.
The candy canes are embossed in Cherry Cobbler EP and the sentiment is embossed with Early Espresso ink and Versamark. Even the little heart was punched out of a piece of Early Espresso cardstock that had been clear-embossed.
The card based was embossed using the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.
Check out the inspiration from the rest of the DT and have a go yourself. I'm sure the submissions are going to be really varied this week!
Thanks for looking.

ReplyDeleteWhat sweet candy canes! love the embossed shimmer on your pretty card!
ReplyDeleteI believe you that this looks so much better IRL, Karren, but I gotta tell you, it looks pretty darn fabulous on the monitor, too!! This MM is a challenging one. I don't know whether to make a card or make chocolate Christmas stars and eat them!! As it is, I'm having trouble not trying to get inside my monitor and eat your sparkly candy canes! (Hmm, maybe I'd better back away from the computer and go have some lunch!) Hugs, Darnell
