A big congrats to Michele, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept most of the layout, but used different images, dies & colors.
After stamping, coloring & die cutting the candy jar, I added foam layer to pop it up before attaching to the red layer. I found some peppermint paper in the right colors for the bg & added the greeting on a stitched circle die cut. I colored & fussy cut some holly (from Bells w/ Holly) to go behind the circle.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, Copic colors & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

My favorite Holiday candy...Julie, your coloring is stellar. I would love to sit for a lesson. Those candy canes are yummy! And the fussy cutting of the holly and red ribbon...
Me thinks patience is the answer to the coloring...something I don't have an abundance of...the jar is amazing.

Julie, this is the cutest ever. I love the candy background paper. It highlights your candy cane so perfectly. The touch of green holly peaking out from behind the sentiment circle added just the right touch of a third color to all the red and white. The image is precious.

Oh wow, Julie, I am in love with your card. Those Serendipity images are just so pretty and evocative of Christmas from my childhood. Your coloring is outstanding, particularly of the shiny jar and candy canes. Love that peppermint paper - it's a perfect backdrop for the image. Faved.

This is the yummiest card with all that peppermint candy! That fussy cut piece behind the sentiment must have taken the patience of Job - especially those tiny delicate bits of ribbon! Well done!
