Joyous Wishes

  I have exciting news!!  A couple months ago, I was asked to be a guest designer on the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog for the month of January!!  This week's challenge is: "Christmas" and our fabulous sponsor is Beccy's Place.

This is the card I created for your inspiration:

I colored up the candy cane image and then used glue to adhere real baker's twine to the ribbon on the image.  And then I added a button tied with the same twine.  I think it's a fun little touch that adds so much interest.  The three vertical patterned paper strips were already cut to width I just had to trim them to the correct length--the perfect way to use up some scraps.  I stamped the sentiment added some rhinestone gems and it was all finished!

Make sure you stop by the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog to see what the DT created for this challenge.  Thanks for stopping by!
