I used Mercy's sketch from the There She Goes Clear Stamps blog to make this Hanukkah for one of my ten cards for the month of April for SCS' CCC10 challenge with the Home Sweet Home - Hanukkah Additions set. I used the menorah image on the main panel and the dreidel image stamped repeatedly and then embossed with gold embossing powder to create my own DP (there is not very much Hanukkah DP out there, we Jewish papercrafters have to be resourceful!) on the vertical panel and embossed the horizontal panel using the Swiss Dots EB EF. I painted on just a teenie bit of Shimmerz Blingz paint onto the flames to make them more lifelike and give them a little shimmer and shine.
Thanks for the cool sketch Mercy! And thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my card.

This is a beautiful Hanukkah card. All the panels are lovely. The Menorah stands out so beautifully from the rest of the panels.
I may have to CASE this layout. Thanks for sharing a lovely creation.

Hi there~
What a wonderful card for Chanukkah! The bow looks wonderful with this, too. The paper really caught my eye! I think it is great how you let the dreidel stamp off of the page, too. Maybe you should make dp for different holidays, and stories from the Torah. Gorgeous card!
Permission to CASE? I may need to use different stamps, however. I'll see what I have.
