What a great store! It reminded me of a place we used to visit in Houston, The Original Christmas Store. We used to spend hours in there.
Anyway, when I saw thisCandy Cane it reminded me of this sweet pair of candy canes image from DRS Designs.
For my card, I stamped the canes twice so I could add the bow separately. They're both colored w/ markers and a water brush and I added some sparkle on the bow w/ a clear glitter gel pen. Hard to capture but IRL it's pretty sparkly. After cutting them out, I attached them to a red panel w/ an embossed frame. On the frame I used a white chalk marker to highlight the raised embossing.
The fun greeting was also stamped twice. I punched a small tag w/ the candy cane part and attached it on top. A little red marker was added on both and the complete greeting was die cut w/ a long rectangle.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on the DRS blog. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them. But you can still see the post on the DRS Blog linked above.
