Serendipity Nov Blog Hop #2!


 
Happy Thanksgiving & welcome to the Nov #2 Blog Hop
 for Serendipity Stamps! 
Don’t you love this Candy Jar? Wonderful image & so fun to color. After stamping, coloring & die cutting, 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 background & added the greeting on a stitched circle die cut. I colored & fussy cut some holly (from Bells w/ Holly) to go behind the circle.

Here’s a look at the inside.

    Holy cow, your copic skills are amazing! Those candy canes look good enough to eat!

  15. Stunning card! Your peppermint sticks have so much dimension – looks like you could just pluck one up and have a sweet taste. I love the look of peppermint candies for holiday cards and you nailed it!

  16. WOW! Julie, this card is marvelous! I love the coloring of the candy canes; they look so real. It takes skill to color glass, and you did it wonderfully. The patterned paper is magnificent as well. GREAT Christmas card, Julie! Hugs!
