Day 27 - X

Beccy's inspiration is a delightful winter scene card HERE,

with the snowman coloured beautifully on X-Press It blending card.

My "X" is also for X-Press It blending card,

I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card

and made another Candy Cane Christmas Card

coloured with Copic markers, this time

I swapped the red and green from my first card.

No, you're not seeing things,

I shared a red Candy Cane Christmas Card for Day 3 HERE

and a red Cute Curly Candy Cane Christmas Card for Day 3 HERE

   

Like my first Candy Cane Card, I used Silhouette Studio to create the image panel for my card.  I sized the Texture Candy digital stamp from the Candy Canes digital stamp set from Beccy’s Place to fit a 4" square panel.  I created the sentiment (font details below), printed the panel on X-Press It blending card then manually trimmed to size.  I used Copic markers to colour the candy cane, OK, it's partially coloured, this is my quirky take on the "loading t-shirts" you see people wearing and translating it to Christmas.  Once coloured, I matted the panel with sparkling red glitter cardstock.  I made a 5 1/2" square top folding card base, adhered the image panel and my Candy Cane Christmas Card was complete.

   

Here are my green and red Candy Cane Christmas cards together.

and here are my red and green Candy Cane Christmas cards

with the red Curly Candy Cane Christmas card.
