Warm Winter Wishes.....

Hello everyone: As much as we want to see some signs of Spring, it's still Winter up here in the cold Mid West, there is a dusting of snow on the ground and it's just about 28 degrees, which will be the temperature throughout the day.....oh well.....it's a good day to craft, right? so here is this card, which I hope, will give you a warm feeling, I will link it to a few challenges at the end of this post.


This card was made with several retired stamp sets, the cup is from the Flourishes set called "Grab a Cup", the cookies are from another Flourishes set called "Fresh Baked" and the sentiment from the Stampin' Up! set called "Winter Memories", I love it when I can combine my beloved stamp sets.
All of the images were stamped onto Strathmore multi media paper with Versafine black ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and colored with SU markers and an aqua painter. 
The cookies were fussy cut and I added Wink of Stella and a few teeny, tiny hearts punched out with a retired SU corner punch out of Cherry Cobbler card stock, love this punch, it cuts this perfect little hearts. 


**************************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


Both the sentiment and the Poinsettia images are from a Power Poppy set called Merry Littles, perfect little images to finish the inside of my Holiday cards.

I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.


Creatalicious Challenges "Anything Goes"+optional "Winter"
CCC Digi Creations Challenge #65 "Use die cuts and or punches"
4 CRAFTY CHICKS Challenge #335 "Water Color" (my favorite medium)
Moving Along With The Times Challenge #37 "Swirls and or Curls" Taking a chance with the Swirls on the coffee that a Barista would make. (I've only had this a cup with a design like this once, I didn't want to drink my coffee, it was just so beautiful)
Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate this more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.
