					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9 days &#8217;till Christmas! Can you believe that? I am a little behind with sending Christmas cards this year&#8230; but almost finish today! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> A lot of writing for sure, but my oldest is helping with writing cards this year, that is fun <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />   Making Christmas cards are super fun for us. And today, I would love to share a card I made to play along with <strong><a href="http://curtaincallchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/12/curtain-call-inspiration-challenge_15.html" target="_blank">Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge, Candy Cane</a>.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://curtaincallchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/12/curtain-call-inspiration-challenge_15.html"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-_P6EO2z_Z1Y/VFjgQdZLE4I/AAAAAAAAKR8/U42dgPFpbok/s1600/candy%2Bcane.jpg?resize=300%2C386" alt="" width="300" height="386" /></a></p>
<p>I am inspired by the Candy canes and wreath. I used couple retired products from CTMH for this card. Oldie but still goodie <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>For the base layers, I used Sparkle and Shine paper packet that one side of the pattern is candy cane and the other is polkadots. I cut 2 sizes of squares, 5.25&#8243; (candy cane side) and 4.75&#8243; (polkadots side) for base the layers. Then on a watercolor paper (3.25&#8243; x 3.25&#8243;), I stamped the wreath branch with <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=725&amp;ci=650" target="_blank">Chocolate exclusive ink pad</a> and sprayed with some water. And then I stamped the berry dots with <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6846&amp;ci=685" target="_blank">Ruby exclusive ink pad</a> and sprayed with some water, for some watercolor effect. With the same technique, I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the wreath with <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=803&amp;ci=659" target="_blank">Olive exclusive ink pad</a>.</p>

<p>I added some <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7665" target="_blank">natural baker&#8217;s twine</a> and some pearl adhesive gems on it. Then added it on the card using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4303" target="_blank">3D foam adhesive</a>. I love how the watercolor effect using dye inks turned out <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
