Mmm…

With green being the predominant colour choice on various challenges, I decided to try to make one card that would fit several and this is what I came up with. As well one challenge is a sketch and it fits that one too.

Stamp sets used are an old coffee set from GKD, a new set from Your Next Stamp, an old one from Tim Holtz and the sentiment is from MFT and is another fairly new set for me. These images from YNS are quite cute and this is the second one I’ve used from the set. I did add the Santa hat which I coloured with a red glitter pen and added some fluffy stuff from Cosmic Shimmer. As well I added a tiny heart to the coffee cup and coloured it green. The image has been done with various pencils and an Ohuhu alcohol ink pen. There is also some sparkle added here and there. The sentiment was heat embossed in silver.

I started with the white panel to which I added the line of coffee cups in Pine Needles Distress Ink. In between the cups I added the mmm… then I added the sparkly striped thin strips to separate them from the dark green PP. This is a scrap piece from an old 6X6 pad. I stamped the image onto the circle which was a left over from another project and edged the circle with the same green ink. This was popped up on foam tape. Before I added the panel to the card front I used the same ink and brushed a section with the colour so it would match the cups. I debated adding some additional embellishments and decided against it. I can always change my mind when the time comes to use the card.

These are the challenge links where I am entering the card:

I hope you are all having a happy day. We finally got my car out of the garage so I can use it again. Poor hubby is exhausted from all the snow clearing.

    1. Many thanks. I try to do at least one card per month pre-Christmas and some challenges really help with that objective.

  1. This is a great card! I love that green and your fun coffee cups are great. His hat is perfect with the fluffy stuff. Did it pick up the color from underneath, or did you add color to it?
