Holiday Card 3 - C for Candy Canes

Hello, everybody!  I'm back again today with another holiday card.  Inspiration for my holiday cards has come from the alphabet prompts over at Beccy's Place - she is having her sixth annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge.  Day 3 is "C" - I went with Candy Canes.  (For an update on my husband's health, please see my earlier post here.)


The vintage image is from Gecko Galz Frosty Digital Collage Sheet and I added a red gem to the bow.  The candy canes and words are from Beccy's Place Christmas Candy.  I used the precoloured version and fussy-cut, and then added a bow (Tim Holtz bow punch) and dark red gem.  I added a die-cut snowflake banner from my stash, embellished with red gems.  The baker's twine is from my stash, and the patterned paper is Studio Calico Magical 6x6" paper pad.

I was inspired by Sketch 478 at Tuesday Morning Sketches and Gecko Galz November Challenge - Jingle All the Way.

    Awwww, that snowman is adorable Kitty, what a sweet face he has. I love the big candy can he's holding and the lovely little bird too. The snowflake garland across the top of the card is wonderful, what a great die that is.
    Well done!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
