Candy Cane Christmas

Happy Friday!
It's been a mostly hot week here and I'm starting to really look forward to the cooler temps of fall. I think most of the country has had just about enough of being in this easy bake oven called summer. So think cool thoughts and maybe make a Christmas card or two. I'm showing one of the new releases (tomorrow!) and a couple of favorites. The new one is the Multi Christmas Greeting I used all over the background. I inked it up w/ four colors of Distress inks and stamped it a bunch of times. I had a green tag cut from some earlier project so I stamped the polka dot background on it and added my colored and cut out candy canes. I topped it off w/ a big red velveteen bow and my festive card is finished.

Have a great weekend!
