This week's prompt at Jingle Belles is all about the Christmas Feast ... we're asking you to create a holiday card which features food or drink of some sort... candy canes, gingerbread men, sugar plums, christmas cookies and hot chocolate, or the grinch carving the roast beast ... whatever yummy foods and drinks mean Christmas to you.
When I was discussing ideas for this prompt with my husband, he kept singing, "O' Christmas Corn", and thus this card was born.
I started by stamping & embossing my corn stalk & then coloring it with Spectrum Noir Markers (DG1, DG2, GB3 & GB4). Next I added sequin ornaments and used a gold metallic pen to draw the hangers. I'm also joining the Make Your Mark Challenge at Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog.
As my husband and I discussed our growing holiday scene, of course we needed to add a few Christmas critters (love the look on the raccoon's face), some Presents under the Christmas Corn, a star on the top of the Corn ... and golden bling for lights. The finishing touch was our typed sentiment ... and Iowa Christmas Feast for sure.
I'm not familiar with the song but it does explain the theme of this fun card.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM this week. :)

Too funny! Great combination of elements you used to create your card. I love the texture the raccoon, bird, presents and star add. Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM. :)
