Oh my goodness!! When I saw this Toasty Treats image by Impression Obsession, I fell in love. Fall and Winter are my absolute favorite seasons!! I love snuggling up with a cozy blanket and a hot cup of tea or coffee. This image just screams COZY to me and I couldn't wait to ink it up. I used yesterday's SCS Sketch #240 as my starting point.I framed the image with one of my favorite Nesabilities shapes...the Octagon. I have to force myself to use other shapes sometimes. *grin* I used Liquid applique for the cream and marshmallows, and sprinkled some green glitter to represent sugar sprinkles on the whip cream. After doing that, I remembered that JustRite had a Sprinkled With Love sentiment in their Celebration Demi Phrases set. Perfect!! So I added that to the circle.
Now I love Christmas Decorative Papers, but I like to use non-traditional papers for my Christmas cards too. So this time I chose some papers from Basicgrey's Wisteria Collection, and matted them with Tawny Light (Prismatics) and Neenah Solar White. Each panel is ink distressed with Antique Linen, and some Dew Droplets, and Martha Stewart Punch was used to make the vellum snowflake which has a coating of Frosted Lace stickles for a bit of sparkle.
That about sums this card up.
Hope your week is fantastic!! I received some gorgeous flowers from my sweet husband for our Anniversary this week, and we're going out to a fabulous restaurant tonight to celebrate!! Can't wait!!
Happy Stamping!!
Totally stunning! Happy Aniversary xx

ReplyDeleteTosh, I have cold weather right now. 2 days ago I could see my own breath (faintly) outside. My furnace is running in the morning. It seems so wrong for August, KWIM? This card gave me a warm fuzzie and helped me see the good side of all this... Chocolate on the warm side and some adorable fuzzy mittens.
