Artist at work

This HouseMouse stamp is entitled "candy striper", even though this isn't quite the image that pops into one's head when hearing that title - hahaha!!  I've added stickles to the white portions of the candy canes to give it more pizzazz.   Along the bottom, I've used a strip of zig-zag washi tape, and then I've centered candy cane/peppermint drops ribbon across.   My best  friend, Gail, sent me these poinsettias as an early Christmas gift, so I'm able to put them to some use this season - thanks so much, Gail.   I've used some foliage diecuts behind the flowers, as well as using a MS punch for the white ferns tucked in also.   Those are candi-dots along the top corner and brads on the green section above the image.  Thank you so much for coming in to view my card creation.
