CAS Christmas and CAS Mix-Up - September

I have two more Christmas cards for my stash thanks to CAS Christmas and CAS Mix-Up.
For this card I used a NBUS stamp from RC.  I mean aren't candy canes the ultimate holiday treat?
The oval hemstitch is from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from CP.  The image is colored with Zigs and Distress Ink shows through the die cut.

I discovered that a die from PPP makes perfect inchies so I used that to cut a digital image of mistletoe.
Stamping (sentiment), My choice = Watercoloring, heat embossing, Glossy Accent
I watercolored the mistletoe with Zigs, then heat embossed the berries with Wanderlust.  A little Glossy Accent was added to the bow and then the inchies were mounted on silver paper.  The final touch was the sentiment from HLS.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you've gotten a good start on your Christmas cards.
