Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
http://thehollyandivychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/challenge-117-anything-christmas-goes.html

I have used a digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  The image is from Twinkle Lane Designs and the sentiment is from Desert Diva.  Colouring is with copic markers and Stickles.

I followed a tutorial for a Staggered Gate Fold Card by Sam Calcott.  Although she calls it a Gate Fold card, I feel it is more of a Z Fold Card.

Eat Drink & Be Merry

 I found this interesting fold this morning and decided that it would work for this card:

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image and sentiments are from Twinkle Lane Design.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the spearmint flavoured candy canes and to the little bell.

Eat Drink and Be Merry

When I saw the theme of Celebrate, Christmas came to mind so when I also saw another challenge also sponsored by Twinkle Lane Designs that had a theme of "Christmas Sweet Treats", I knew this image would work for both challenges.
