Candy Cane Ants


Well, we are down to the wire folks; are you ready?  I'm not quite done but almost... Forgot to buy the candy canes that I always tie on top of packages, ugh!  

This is the last of my Christmas cards, yeah!  This card is one that I will be including with gifts that we exchange with family on Christmas Eve.  The pre-colored image and sentiment are from the sweet Candy Cane Ants set by Doodle Pantry.  Although you can't see it in the photo, I added shading with Copics and used a clear glaze pen on the ants and candy cane. Sorry the ants appear so dark in the photo. I guess my camera was having a bad day!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Everybody Art Challenge #172 -- Anything Goes
The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog -- Use a Sentiment
The Crazy Challenge CCH#98 -- Christmas

Enjoy the rest of your day.  If I don't see your before Sunday, have a wonderful Christmas.

    Wow, your card is amazing, your coloring is so perfect with the background so soft. Love the image, cute as can be and so much fun to have with packages. I never thought of adding candy canes to packages, will have to remember that next year. Have a wonderful holiday.
