For today's creation I used Cup of Tulips.

I just loved the colors!

 I fussy cut the image and glued the bottom portion down and curling the top flowers for dimension. I finished with Yellow Stickles on just the yellow for some texture and shine.

 Used Large Beaded Circles die from Spellbinders for the base card (CS is American Crafts) and peel-off sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you join me tomorrow for new creations.

I used the uber cute Frog in My Pocket.

I used glossy accents on the eyes and hole-punched pink CS for his cheeks. White Gellyroll pen was used for the highlights. Worms were colored with SN markers.

I finished it off with buttons and twine from my stash and doodles around the image. Sentiment is from Crafter's Companion.

"Candy Cane Lane" Inspired!

It's time for a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. 

Our theme this month is 

INSPIRED BY A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Our amazing sponsor is

They have a FABULOUS prize for us!!

How adorable is that stamp??

So one of my favourite Christmas Carols as a Kid was 

"CANDY CANE LANE"- so that was my inspiration.

My niece also loves the carol and well eating candy canes, so this one is for her!

I wanted it to be fun for her as she's 7. I used Christmas Candy Fairy from The Paper Shelter.

CS is Bazzil and DP's are from DCWV. Twine, button and pearls (which I colored with SN markers) are from my stash. 

Here's a closer look at the colored version of the image:

This reminds me of my niece too, as she's so cute, even when she's mischievous! hehehehe.

Be sure to check out the wonderful creations from my teamies for their CHRISTMAS CAROL INSPIRED cards.

Happy Craftin'!
