candy cane Christmas


The Friendship Jar stamp sets are always fun to use.  I created this little candy cane Christmas card for the Papertrey Ink release.  (Yep, I am way behind and still sharing my cards from the release!)  My design is fairly simple so that the image really shines as the focal point.  I colored my image with copic markers and added some stitching and twine along with a sentiment.

Thanks for visitng and have a great weekend!
