Time for December's Love to Craft Challenge #53!

Happy December! It's time for another Anything Goes challenge at Love to Craft!  You can enter 5 different projects and it lasts all month long. I'm sharing my design team make with you today.

Honey's oldest sister has a birthday coming up, and since they have been forecasting a bona fide cold front for her birthday week, I thought I'd try a winter-themed birthday card. Funny but I cannot ever remember doing that before, only Christmas cards! 

I used Split Coast Stampers sketch SC36 from way back in 2005! Since this cutie pie's head was so large, I flipped the sketch vertically to accommodate it. 

PAPERS: Recollections card stock, Pink & Main Frosty collection

STAMPS/IMAGES:  StarStampz digital Cup of Cocoa on a Cold Day, my computer-generated sentiments, I/O siggie

INKS: Promarkers, Memento, VersaMagic

DIES: Spellbinders Labels 2

OTHER/STASH:   Sequins

I spied this little cocoa drinker in my computer files and decided to print her out as large as I could.

I colored her with Promarkers in shades color-matched to the patterned paper and fussy-cut her out.

I created a computer-generated front sentiment, die cut it and outlined it and all the papers with a Promarker and then chalk ink. Had to add double-layer sequins just because I thought it needed a little something extra.

Inside, another computer-generated sentiment I die cut and adhered on a piece of the patterned paper.

And the back has more patterned paper with a die cut siggie stamp.

And a final view. I hope you check out Love to Craft Challenge #53 and see what my teamies have made. Thanks for dropping by to check out my art. I hope you stay well and safe! XOX
