Warm Wishes

 On Saturday it was World Cardmaking day, and my Card making group had challenges going that we were able to work on through today.  I am hoping to get through a couple more today, we will see.

First up we were to make a card using a cup, it could be coffee, cocoa anything we chose.  I was in the mind set to do Hot Cocoa and make another Christmas card since I am not a coffee drinker and until it was time to stamp a sentiment did I realize oh this is suppose to be a cup of tea, ooopps. Hopefully the receiver still thinks of it as a cup of cocoa even with the tea bag string hanging from the cup, LOL!

My sister had given me a few craft goodies she didn't want anymore and these little candy canes were in the bag, thought it would work as a nice Christmas accent. I cut a doily from my stash in half to put under the cup.

The next challenge was to use all white on card.  I was going to punch all kinds of snowflakes out and glue them to my panel, when looking for them I came across this die I had forgot I had and so I cut out 4 of them so I could do some layering.  I also cut the joy out 3 times to give it more lift, not sure why it looks more cloudy looking around the joy.  I also used some new to me accent called Diamond Dust, oh this stuff when you move the card just sparkles, gives a gorgeous touch! Wish it would show up in pictures.
