Bag of Candy Canes

My card today is for the post at Creative Moments. The image I have used is Rory's Bag Of Canes from Lacy Sunshine. I have used spotty card on a 8x8in white card. I have coloured the image using Spectrum Noir pencils and cut the image out using a die from the Tonic set of nesting rectangles, I have used a Tattered Lace corner die and used Tonic Nuvo Drops in red to do the berries. I cut the canes using a spellbinder die. I have cut a tag which will include a personalised sentiment closer to Christmas.
