* If You Give A Crafter A Cookie: Santa Mug

Hello friends!


Today is the start of a brand new challenge at 

If You Give A Crafter A Cookie.

I do hope you'll join us.

You can enter your projects until the 9th August.

As always, there is a photo inspiration, and here it is:

Our generous sponsors this time are Limited Runs and Cute AS A Button.

       

I used the Santa Coffee Mug from Limited Runs for my card:

I used the coloured version of the Santa Coffee Mug. I printed it out twice and added some extra colour to the red mug and to Santa's face with copic markers.  The red mug was given a coat of Glossy Accents. Santa's face was cut from the second print and Fluffy Puffy Stuff was applied and heated to form the trim and bobble on his hat. Iridescent glitter was added to his beard and moustache. The face was popped on foam pads to give the mug some dimension.

The background was created by inking Art Card with Peacock Feathers and Danube Blue inks.  Some die cut white card to replicate snow drifts were adhered. Santa was placed in the centre of the card and the die cut sentiment was added.

A mat of black and red card was made before it was adhered to the card base.

That's all from me for today. 
Now it's over to you...

Please pop over to the
