I used the poem on the front of the card as the background. And I put the full poem on the inside. I used dimensional glaze to make it stand out and look like a candy cane. I also cut out my image twice, using only the holly the second time to pop up on the candy cane and shifted it to the side a little to make the holly look fuller.

Lisa, this is gorgeous! I so love this poem -- seen it and used it before. And that candy cane -- it's fabulous! I'm so impressed that it's a digi and yet you used Copics. Did you print with laser or ink jet? Beautiful! Into my faves for this one!

I love how you did the holly leaves, Lisa! So fun to see the candy cane in this more unusual position too!
