The main circle of November's Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers sketch #28 is a great for featuring an image.
For my mini-slimline take on the sketch, I started with a Gina Marie Designs Candy Cane Stripe 6x6 stencil and some Stickles Glitter Gel- Mars instead of ink blending.I die cut a circle from white glitter paper and glued it to a striped paper I made using MFT's Lined by Hand background stamp that I foiled using heat embossing + Decofoil and running it through my Mini-Minc.
The candy canes are from Taylored Expressions Peppermint Kisses dies from the Stencil and Die Combination and Foil It card fronts with red Decofoil. The holly leaves are die cut from patterned paper and their tips and the berries are dusted with Ranger's Rock Candy Glitter. I finished off the card with some gold embroidery thread, one of the TE Simple Strips in Reverse- Christmas and embellishments from my stash. Hope you are inspired to join us this month and post your card in the {BYSHC} FB Group Gallery. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
In kindness, Cathy

As You Like It Oct. 27th / Favorite Christmas Image or animal and why. (Candy canes are one of my favorite images because every holiday season I look forward to all of the treats with crushed peppermints (from white chocolate pretzals, to peppermint mochas, to eating soft peppermints - YUM!!)
You give new meaning to the word festive, Cathy! This card is all that! I just want to pluck off one of the candy canes and eat it! Amazing shine and schparkle! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
