Merry Monday with Candy Canes # 225!

Hi Friends! 
I hope you will join us at the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge because we only have two more after this one to help you get your cards completed before Christmas!
Our theme was chosen by Linda this time and she is looking for CANDY CANES!
I masked off part of my card and sponged on some pinks for an ombre look.  Then I took some smaller stamps (holly and berries) from the SOA Candy Cane Lane and stamped over the sponged background.  I die cut two canes and a bow for the card.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set!

Heart Hugs, friends!
