MFT Sketch #215 + Merry Monday #145: Candy Canes

I have a card to share that combines this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #215 with Merry Monday #145: Candy Canes.





As you can see, I flipped the sketch and embossed the red card base with a diagonal striped embossing folder. A candy cane wreath is made with the MFT winter wreath die and frames the circle cutout allowing the embossed stripes to peek through.



The sentiment from an older MFT stamp set, Inspired by Christmas, is stamped and heat embossed on    a die-namics sentiment strip.

These little candy canes were picked up at Crate & Barrel during their after Christmas sale a year ago, but I couldn't find them when I was making cards this past December. I've been doing a little reorganizing of the office and was happy to uncover the package.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    The clean lines of your Merry Monday card is just perfect. Lovely diecutting over what appears to be dry embossing is very effective.
