Hi there 🙂 My pile of cards is growing this month 🙂 One of the guys I work with does not celebrate Christmas in his faith, but still enjoys the non-religious festivities and good will surrounding the occasion. I always make cards and give little gifts to the guys I work with, and, of course, I can’t leave him out. This image from Christmas Cocoa Cups 2 set by Last Minute Manda is a happy one, without being overboard Christmassy, so I went with it. I colored the image with my Copics, and added a few touches with white Posca. I dug around in my paper stash, and found this fun background print that went with the image perfectly!! After cutting an oval aperture into this, and the striped matting, I layered it over some brown cardstock, and popped the colored image on. A quick winter sentiment that I printed on my computer provided the finishing touch to this card.
I’d like to enter this in the following:

What an adorable card. Your coloring is amazing on that cute mug. Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges.
The striped paper behind the aperture looks like everything is framed with candycanes… cool idea. And love the snowman cup focal point, great coloring. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble and Jingle Belles.
Super cute image and I love that fun patterned paper background as well. So pleased you could join our snowy fun at Jingle Belles (& Double Trouble!) this fortnight!
that’s how many marshmallows I want in my cocoa … so very glad you dashed through the snow with us at Jingle Belles.
