Festive Stripes

Candy canes covered with white frosting, red frosting, stripes, squiggles, dots and more make up the photo for the Festive Friday Challenge. 

So, I found this stunning red and white striped paper that I placed on a white card and punched a bottom piece of the same paper -- sort of reminds me of the squiggles and dots on the candy canes in the picture. 

Then I stamped three candy canes with Versa Mark and embossed with glittery powder, dried the images and fussy cut.  Oh, forgot, I added the pinky red lines on the candy canes using red ink and my water pen.  I love how the red color just wipes off the embossed areas.  I think I will use this technique more often.

Gauzy ribbon, button and twine atop the candy canes finish the card.

Interesting how the different backgrounds give the card a slightly different appearance.  The man in my house likes the black background better.
