This card is for the Alphabet Challenge, letter 'M'.
The Double Challenge was to Make it MERRY. I used a Merry Christmas sentiment inside and the jar resembles a Mason jar.
This was a fun card to make.. I offset the card stock. I stamped the jar in gray and die cut it. I then stamped the candy canes and I colored the cork lid on the jar with brown marker. (the following is why I marked it difficulty of 2) I masked the large candy cane in the word Jesus and inked the rest of the stamp in black, removed the masking tape and used a dauber duo in red on the J. I was really hoping it would turn out well on the first stamped image, because I didn't want to go through that again. Luckily, it did. I cut around the whole sentiment. I assembled the card, added the red twine to the jar and popped on 3 red pearls. Thank you so much for looking.. I hope you enjoy!

Marvelous for Letter M with your Merry Christmas card. Love the sentiment - I so agree. I like how the J is a candy cane, like an upside down shepherds staff. Nice match with the jar full of candy canes. Great job stamping the three parts of the jar! I like the green plaid panel and how you tilted the layers. Great job! TFS

Ooh, this is lovely. I like your offset panels. That green plaid paper is perfect with the sentiment. Love the jar full of candycanes too, tied with the thick red twine. Well done!

What an incredibly fabulous Christmas card this is Jennifer - wow! I love candy canes so I was totally taken with your jar of candy canes before I saw what you did with this wonderful sentiment and turning a candy cane into the letter J. That is brilliant! Great choice of dsp, string bow and lovely red pearls that highlight your offset image so nicely. Hugs! ~Karen.
