Spellbinders Zenspired Holidays Collection by Joanne Fink - Inspiration | Merry Christmas Card with Mona Toth featuring SBS-165 Christmas Sentiments, SDS-162 Christmas Candy Canes #spellbinders #neverstopmaking

I started working on my project by stamping. I stamped many candy images from Christmas Candy Canes stamp set with red dye ink. I used the same ink as a watercolor and colored or painted stripes on them. While they dried I made the card base. I used the Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks and blended them together. Then I sprayed and splattered on it with white ink spray.

The next step was heat embossing. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment to the center of my card with Watermark ink then I Heat Embossed with White Embossing Powder.

When the Candies were dry I run them trough my die-cut Machine with the Christmas Candy Die. Styled them around the large sentiment and adhered to the card base. As a final touch I added to the card some pink and red flat sequins and the card was ready.
