Yahoo!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's WINTER, CHRISTMAS and the WINTER COFFEE LOVERS HOP! Woop woop! I'm excited to be playing along again and I've got a fun project each and every day! The DT has been cranking out some fabulous creations to inspire and invite YOU to join the fun!
For my first card creation, I chose to share a little mixed media card I've dubbed "Santa's Coffee Break". I included a little Santa Claus wax seal into my card design.
Santa is always a child at heart so I've added a little doodled smiley face to his favorite cup. Of course, Santa loves Peppermint any way he can have it so that yummy steam smells minty fresh!
Check out the little snowballs! I added a pile-o-snow to the canvas just by gluing them down with my Journey Glaze. This glaze can hold down anything!!! A closer look at the canvas might show a few sneaky Ho-ho-ho's here and there. I wrote them in pencil on the canvas before I brushed some Whip Cream (mixed with a little blue watercolor pencil) paint over the canvas. I didn't want the sentiment to be overpowering, so there's just a hint of "Ho".
I wonder if you can notice the stitching under the watercolored snowflake? If not, check it out. I used some black twine and just xxx a little santa stitching. Of course, I had to add a little sparkly and peppermint striped washi to the mix!
