Hello friends . . .
Here in Ohio, USA the weather has certainly 'dipped' and my cold weather beverage of choice happens to be hot chocolate. So, when I get 'chilled to the bone', I brew up a frothy cup and Mmmm it's so good and soothing! LOL
Well anyways, I spotted this fun challenge (new to me) called Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog
and their theme this time around is 'HOLLY'. I just HAD to join in the fun so here's what I created . . .
I actually had this snow flake background paper & red/green holiday paper laying in my stack of left overs so of course I had to grab them and see what I could create with them.
The snowflake panel I also embossed using a snowflake embossing folder for extra texture. My holly flourishes I die cut from white card stock then colored using Tombow markers. Here are the products I used for today's creation:
Elizabeth Craft - Hot Chocolate (#1570) [OLD]
Sue Wilson Festive Collection - Poinsettia Flourish & Corner (CED3109) [OLD]
Spellbinder Holiday (S6-040) [OLD]
What fun I had creating today's card!
I think my mojo has FINALLY showed up! Ugh ... it's about time! LOL

ReplyDeleteI have that same mug die and I love it - perfect for some hot chocolate. Great use of left-over scraps too. It adds perfectly to the festive feel of your card. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas this month.
ReplyDeleteI somehow missed this one, congrats on the win at Challenge Up. Love how you got this scene so realistic with all the fiddly bits
