Sweet Sips & Holiday Sparkle!

October 1st is here, which means a new Christmas Challenge has begun for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club.

I began by blending Uncharted Mariner, Broken China, and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks together for a frosty background. To add sparkle and texture, I splattered White Gold paint, water drops, and a bit of white paint across the panel. Once it was dry, I cut the panel with an arch die and layered it onto an arched A2 card base (a little trick: I placed the card base just inside the far-right edge of the die so the fold remained intact, giving me the shaped card I wanted).

Now for the fun part—building the cocoa scene! My cup is adorned with whipped cream, candy cane, holly, and red berries. I tucked peppermint candies and jingle bells around the saucer for extra holiday cheer.

It’s a sweet and festive way to celebrate this month’s challenge. Be sure to check out the Fan Club Christmas Challenge for all the details—we can’t wait to see how the inspiration photo sparks your creativity!

Thanks for stopping by!
