Sweet and Happy Holidays!

Happy Monday! Here's one who's colors are sure to wake you up this morning!!!

I'm posting today with the Design Team for Jan's Digital Stamps as we start off October with a new round of Christmas cards for inspiration!  I've selected Jan's new Candy Cane package and made this bright rainbow colored candy cane holiday card.  

This one just evolved as I sure didn't start out thinking it was going to be all these bright and juicy colors!  I actually started with wanting to color the bow in the Copic B04 to B06 shades of blue.  From there my pattern began and I love the way it turned out....  Looks good enough to pick it up to eat! 

Unfortunately the die for the edging on this one is a very old one, before I started keeping up with names and manufacturers.   I used a deep burgundy cardstock to make the base and covered it with the holly print.  I secured the completed image to the center of the card to complete the card for now.  Like a lot of my 'early' Christmas cards, I don't add the bow until I'm ready to add them to the envelope and mail.  This just makes storage easier and allows a prettier bow right before mailing. 

I hope you'll join us on Jan's Digital Stamp Challenge Blog. We'd love to see your card creations.
