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.
