Christmas Card Challenges #43

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. Our challenge this week is to get inspiration for you card from our Inspiration Photo. For the background I used Crate Paper - Snow Day on the top and Lawn Fawn on the bottom. The bottom paper gave a little bit of a candy cane feel to me. I paper pieced the mug from DCWV paper. The stamp set is from Mama Elephant. I added some Pretty Pink Posh white sequins for "marshmallows" on the top of the mug. Finally, I inked the edges with a chalk ink edger in Attic Dust.

I'm excited to see what you come up with this week for this fun challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Curtain Call Challenge

I made this card for the current Curtain Call Challenge called Cuppa Cocoa. I was inspired by the colors in the photo and the marshmallows! All the stamps are from Mama Elephant. I made the background by blending Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans Distress Inks and colored the cup with Frayed Burlap and Brushed Corduroy Distress Markers. I colored the doily with Antique Linen Distress Marker. The grid is just a fun embellishment I had in my stash. The ink is Dark Chocolate from Papertrey Ink. The "marshmallows" are little pompoms from Hobby Lobby. It was nice to make this "Warm and Cozy" card on a cold winters day. Thanks for stopping by!
