Warm winter wishes

Hi there Crafty friends! Happy, healthy and crafty New Year for all of you! 
This week finally winter came to Alabama (smile), so to celebrate I made a winter card for one of my readers that won the prize from this post and she asked if I could send her the card from that post. As I have already sent said card to another crafty friend, I made another one for her.

I colored the sweet image with Zig Brush markers.
I'm linking this one to the Lawnscaping Challenge Winter Wonderland.

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed rest of the week!

Warm Winter Wishes + Giveaway

Hi crafty friends!
I hope you are enjoying your Holiday Season! I am still in the process of finishing the cards I need to send. But today I'm sharing a special card that I made for the Winter/Holiday-coffee-lovers-blog-hop. 
I'm arriving late to the party, but it's always oh so fun!
So here is my card.

For the background I used a paper I got last Jan in a Simon Says Stamps card kit, the main image is by Lawn Fawn and the die I used to cut the snow bank is also by Lawn Fawn. To finish it up I just added some snowflake sequins. I colored the imaged with Zig clean color real brush markers. To blend the colors I used Wink of Stella and to finish up the cup I covered it with glossy accent.
To celebrate the blog hop and the season I'm giving away a Starbucks gift card.
Thanks for your visit and have a blessed week!

ETA I'm also adding this card to Choux Choux Paper
