Candy Canes ~ Double D Challenge

Hello friends~  Are you all ready for Christmas??  It's just a few days away!  Double D Challenges is sneaking in one last challenge, and the theme is "Candy Canes".

My card uses all "oldies" but goodies!
I started with a piece of printed scrapbook paper and added some Tim Holtz Mini Holiday Greens.  I'm so glad that "greens" never go out of style!

I layered two Candy Canes from Dee's Distinctively and topped them with a bow from Impression Obsession Patchwork Gifts.  The beautiful "JOY" die cut is from The Greetery.  

A few scattered snowflakes from Elizabeth Craft designs finished this card off nicely.

Here's the mood board to help inspire you:


And here's the prize that you could win when you play along:

I hope you'll visit the Double D Challenge blog to see more fantastic inspiration from my amazingly talented teammates and join in on the fun, if you find the time!

I wish for you and your family, a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
