Heartfelt Creations - Striped Candy Cane

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for some inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!

This week I have a card using the Striped Candy Cane Set!  I just love this set and had so much fun coloring it!

(Click on the photo for a closer view)

I stamped the candy cane image and flowers on white and colored them with my pencils.  I love this burgundy and green color combination for Christmas!  I used Labels 23 and Labels 23 Grand to die cut the image and a burgundy designer paper mat.  The flower was then shaped, assembled, and added over the flower on the candy cane image.  Then I just popped it all on an embossed card base placing it above the fold.  I love how extending it highlights the image!

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Blessings!
