SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day

Greetings! I'm really thrilled to be participating in today's SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day! SCACD's design team has been joined by some terrific crafters to showcase SCACD's Digital Stamps!

Once you've seen my project, please visit SCACD's Hearts and Hugs Blog to see who is participating and to find all the links. I know you'll want to visit all of our blogs to be inspired.

So, without further ado, here's my card, which uses Kathi's Menorah!

The observant among you will notice that this beautiful digi stamp, Kathi's Menorah, is named for me! Isn't that exciting? I'm famous! In fact, I'm a legend in my own mind. *grin*

What's more, there's a second version of the stamp bearing my name. It's Kathi's Menorah, Unlit and this version was a special request from me. The set features the same gorgeous Menorah, but the Menorah doesn't have candles inserted in it. The candles come separately, in both lit and unlit versions, so that the amount of candles can be added to the Menorah to reflect which night you're celebrating! Is that cool or what? I'll be sharing a project using this set next week, so be sure to come back and take a peek!

Anyway, Kathi's Menorah was resized in PhotoElements, printed out onto Neenah cardstock, then colored with Copic  (the Menorah and the flames) and Shinhan Touch Twin (candles, Star of David, and ground) markers.

The image panel was matted with gold metallic cardstock. Blue glitter cardstock was embossed with a Cuttlebug swirly embossing folder to echo the swirls on Kathi's Menorah. The raised swirls were lightly sponged with Golden Glitz Delicata ink, then this piece was matted with gold metallic cardstock. Since it's kind of obvious that this is a Chanukah card, I didn't add a sentiment.

Thanks for visiting today and remember to pop by SCACD's Hearts and Hugs Blog so that you can find even more great holiday inspiration featuring SCACD's awesome Digital Stamps!!!
