Merry Monday #145 - Candy Canes

Hello friends.  The challenge this week at Merry Monday's is to use a candy cane on your card.  I feel like I'm repeating myself (see this post here), but I'm very limited in candy cane stamps!  So here it is again just a little bit different:



I used an IO stamp (E8612) and colored with my Copics (R29, R39, YG63, C1, & E13).  I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds (SU!) to the candy cane and ribbon, and some red Stickles for the berries.  The little tag is from PTI's "Tiny Tags" and I used a Lil Inkers Stitched Circle die for the main image.  The background DSP is SU!.  So quick and easy I made a few of them and even finished the insides too! :0)

 
Don't ya LOVE this photo???  I would love to have that decoration in my house at Christmas time!  You can check out all the other candy cane entries and info to play along right here.
 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by...I love it when you do!

I don't have candy cane stamps either and was thinking of using the red/white striped paper for my candy canes...that is if I can find the time to make the card before Sunday....time is my enemy! Your card is beautiful. I love that stamp.
