Candycanes and Smiles

One more card, ready to post!   I enjoy making the cards, but can't say I like venturing out into the cold to mail them.  Somehow, with the cold weather we've been having, it seems like it should be February.  Thankfully, we still have Christmas to look forward to, but after that.....I think it is going to be a long winter.


My card today uses the adorable Candy Elf image from Make it Crafty.  Isn't she a sweetie with that lovely smile.  Coloured with copics and a bit of pencil, it gives you lots of opportunity to use some nice bright colours.  I've kept the card very simple, for mailing, and except for the bow...all embellishments are stickers of some kind or other.

Other supplies used:
Papers from MME - Merry Days of Christmas collection
Spellbinders die - Floral Ovals

My Christmas tree should be going up this weekend, with a little lot of help and a ladder.  That will make it one more step closer to being ready for Christmas.  Hopefully, you too are nearly ready and not getting too stressed out!
