March Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge

It is March already - have you been keeping up and making a few Christmas cards each month to help you when it times to mail your holiday cards in December.  The monthly Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers will help you with this goal. 

The challenge is always "anything goes" but there is always an option.  This month the option is beverage.  What is your favorite beverage for the holidays?  Here is your chance to put it on a holiday card.

I had bought this stamp set at Michael's on clearance after Christmas.  It has coordinating dies.    The images were stamped and colored with Copics.  I used a silver metallic pen to add some highlights to the stem and outline of the glass.  (I may still have to add some glossy accents to the drinks or clear glitter.)

The sentiments were heat embossed on bright pink card stock.  The same card stock used to mat the focal point of the card.

The background for the images was colored with a light pink distress oxide ink using the squish method.  After all the elements were put on the background, I splattered it with a brighter pink ink and a clear silver metallic spray.  If you look closely at the background, you can see the splatters of the metallic spray.  Adds a subtle bling to the card.

There is also a large die cut snowflake behind the beverages.  It is cut out of glitter paper. 

A couple strips of patterned paper in coordinating colors was added to the card front to add more interest. 

Here is a close up of the design elements.  See the big snowflake behind the glasses.  This adds just another subtle point of interest on your background.

Please join us at Happy Little Stampers and play along with our March Christmas challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by.
