Hi Everyone! I've been suffering from some wrist/carpal tunnel issues that are keeping me from crafting, but I thought I'd hop on and share another holiday card I made, but hadn't shared with you yet. This one uses the Candyland Christmas set from The Cat's Pajamas. Oh, and by the way, they have a sweet little 25% off everything sale that ends today, so if you haven't already stocked up on swanky stamps, head on over!I started by cutting a Classic Cream and Espresso Roast shape with my Labels 1 Nestabilities. I then stamped the image from Candyland Christmas and colored with Copics, using the Nestability as a stencil to sponge around the edges with brown ink. The DP is from the Nana's Nursery DCWV pack and the ribbon is from American Crafts.

I love this color combo! I also have wrist/carpal tunnel and sometimes elbow issues and have to take crafting breaks. Of course, it always flairs up when I am most motivated to craft! I hope you feel better soon.
Your cards ALWAYS look so professional. Your coloring is spectacular!
Hope the wrist is better soon. I'd hate to have to miss all your great art!
Happy New Year.

I must try that stencil thing with my nesties next time. Thanks for the idea.
Gorgeous~!!
Well done, well done! (clapping in the background) I love the border when you colour the Nesty's while the paper is still inside of it!
Love the sponging you do Julee...wish I could get such a nice even look when I do it...lol
That image is cute!
Sorry your wrist is hurting...hope it gets better soon!
Your sponging is amazing. I thought you had air brushed it at first!
Sweet card Julee, LOVE the yummy paper and darling design.
Happy New Year, Jennifer :)
Sorry about your wrist... I hope it'll get better soon.

This is gorgeous! I love how you used the nestie to create another "layer" ... adds some nice depth! Always love your work...and wishing you some relief from carpel tunnel. You may want to try some physical therapy...helped me...and some anti-inflammatory meds. Happy New Year!
I love this card!!!
Neat idea about using your Nestie as a stencil. This is simply charming. Love the shapes. Hugs, Mary
So very pretty!
Very pretty.
I hope you get to feeling better, because I know that really hurts.
Have a beautiful New Year and thank you for all the inspiration you've given this past one.

Cute card in pretty colors. Hope your wrist improves. A wrist/hand brace (from Wal-Mart) I used when I was on the computer cleared mine up.
OUCH! I feel your pain. Quite literally. I picked up a water bottle the other day to put on the dispenser and I picked it up JUST THE WRONG WAY and something in my wrist went "pop" and my CT said "GOOD MORNING!" and has been bugging me ever since. SIGH.
Glad you have a stash of goodies there to keep us addicts at bay!
The sponging is gorgeous! Love this card, Julee!
Hope your wrists and hands are feeling better! Happy New Year!
MORE CANDY?? What are you trying to DO to me?? ahahahah
Happy Early Blogga-versary!! Your counter says 2 days!!
