Hello Classy Friends,

Diane here with you today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog.

This week our challenge is Candy Cane Christmas

using red, white, and a touch of green.

I have to say I have had this idea for this card for quite some time,

so it was fun when I finally got to pull it all together!

I started with a Memory Box Winter Large Snowflakes stencil.

If you haven't tried stenciling yet, give it a go as it is a

beautiful way to make backgrounds!

Using Dreamweaver Embossing paste, 

I applied it to my stencil with a Palette knife.

I quickly removed the stencil and immediately covered my

stenciled image with Crystal Ice glitter.

A tip when stenciling is to have a small pan of water nearby to

drop your knife and stencil in.

The embossing paste dries very quickly, and this way it protects

your tools and stencils until you can clean them up!

For the centerpiece I cut Memory Box Vintage Apothecary Jar

and filling it with Impression Obsession Fir Sprig Set which I coated with 

a chunky, snow-like glitter.

The candy canes are from Impression Obsession Christmas Icons.

The white twigs I cut a tree die, then cut it apart to give me twigs.

The holly was a die I had on hand.

I finished with Christmas Red Pearls and White Pearls.

Are you inspired to join in our challenge?

We would love to see your creation!
