Papertrey Ink Candy Cane Christmas card

Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to Charlene who is a recent new follower. Char is a talented mixed media card maker and has experience of being on many design teams. Her cards are really bright and creative, and I encourage you to pop over to say hello and get some inspiration from her.

Well it is time for this week's challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges  and this time we have a lovely Candy Cane photo to inspire you.

I came up with this card using non traditional Christmas colours

I stuck to one stamp set for my card - Candy Cane Christmas from Papertrey Ink. I used a piece of paper to mask off my canes as I stamped the border on a stitched panel cut with a My Favorite Things Blueprints 23 die. I stamped the circle onto the panel and added a sentiment from the set which I stamped and embossed with red embossing powder. Then I stamped the circle again on another piece of card and cut it out with a circle punch before cutting it in two and decoupaging it over the flat circle to give some dimension.

.

I cut the scalloped edge with another die from the set and added a strip of red card to help the panel pop, before finishing it off with a couple of enamel dots.

Why not hop over to the Christmas Card Challenges blog to see what inspiration the team has come up with and join with us this week. Remember that the photo is just for inspiration and if you don't want to use candy canes you can make any type of Christmas card and link it up. The important thing is to have fun and start to build up your Christmas card stash.
