I picked the wrong time of day to photograph this card as it's filled with shadows. I tried to remove them which left the colors diminished but this was the best I could do.
I had some die-cut striped snippets of SU! designer paper left over from a previous project, so this card began with them. I also used 2 tiny snippets of white cardstock to create the candy pieces. The image, sentiment, and candy pieces are all by Newton's Nook - stamped and colored with Copics, and a touch of Wink of Stella added here and there for sparkle. I added a red and green gemstone to each of the fussy cut candy pieces. The 2 striped panels were originally die cut with MFT stitched horizontal dies. I placed this on a dark green card base and have now added another Christmas card to my stash.

I thought that cat looked like a Newton's Nook! Their stamps are all super cute. I love how you always managed to use up scraps. As always, nice job! I enjoy how you manage to make Christmas cards all year round.
I have the same problem Carol, nice bright sunny day which should be god for photos, instead you get shadows.
A really lovely seasonal card, very striking in the traditional colours with lots of white space, many thanks for sharing at Allsorts challenge.

So cute (even with the shadows), Carol! Love the striped papers and that adorable kitty image! How perfect for Christmas! TFS and wishing you a great day ahead! :)
I so much love Newton's Nook and the images! Absolutely cute design with the red and green stripes at the borders! Taking photographs can be so hard sometimes and they never seem to look like they do IRL! I've seen them and you make wonderful cards my friend! Always thank you for your inspiration! HUGS
Oh that is so nice. You did a great job.
This is so adorable Carol, great design for Christmas!
I love this card Carol! Cute as can be and so bright, clean and fresh looking. I love the candy sripes at top and bottom of the card - it pulls it all together beautifully.

What a delightful Christmas card, Carol! The striped snippets and the adorable kitty image are just perfect. The added gemstones and the touch of Wink of Stella really make the card sparkle. Even with the shadows, the card looks fantastic.
Such a sweet kitten and I love the way you've framed the panel with two colors of candy stripe paper! So happy that you could join our celebration of holiday critters at Jingle Belles!
