Candy Cane Christmas: 30 Day Color Challenge

Hello, everyone!

I've been working on a few more Christmas cards while participating in Kathy's 30 Day Color Challenge for the month of November. I was looking through my stash of holiday stamps and I found this cute candy cane stamp with a bow. It's part of a stamp set I got years ago from Close to My Heart.

After I stamped the candy canes in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, I water-colored them using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a water brush onto water color cardstock.  I fussy-cut some of the candy canes to arrange one of my cards. Here's a list of the materials I used:

• Close to My Heart "Holly Jolly Season" stamps
• Sentiment by Hampton Art Holiday Stamps (Michael's)
• Tim Holtz Water Color Cardstock
• VersaFine Onyx Black Ink
• Zing Clear Embossing Powder
• Versa Mark Ink
• Hero Arts White Embossing Powder
• Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
• Ranger Fine Tip Water Brush
• Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangle Dies
• Pretty Pink Post Stitched Border Dies 2
• Simon Says Stamps Diagonal Stencil
• Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink
• Glossy Accents
• Clear Wink of Stella
• Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sequins

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful evening, and Happy Thanksgiving (USA)!
