December Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge

Hello and welcome!  Today I have some inspiration for you for our brand new December challenge at Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Coffee and Snowmen!

I'm using this month's sponsor "Not 2 Shabby" products as they came out with the cutest ever coffee and snowman set last month called "Snow Sweet."

To make my card I first used a Spellbinders hot foil plate and used it as an embossing plate in my die cutting machine on a piece of black card and then rubbed a white ink pad on it.  Next I used a deckled rectangle die to cut a small piece of the embossed/inked black card for a backdrop for my image.

I stamped, cut and colored the image using Zig Clean Color Markers and colored pencils then popped it up on the black rectangle.  The sentiment is from Miss Ink Stamps called "Season's Greeting" heat embossed in white on black card.  Here's a closer look at my card:

I hope you will have a chance to play along in the challenge this month for your chance to win the sponsor prize or be selected to guest design with us in the future!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
