Cup of Cocoa

I'm behind on my Christmas cards and I had this guy all coloured up and ready to go. 

I had forgotten about the cute little tag until my stampin buddy used it on her card, thanks Glenda!

I thought the swirl background worked perfectly with the image.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Hi everyone today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Stamptacular Sunday Challenge and the challenge is Spring Bling.

 I used the embossing folder Starry Night and added diamond stickles to them as well as to the branches. Then some rhinestones and I've got spring bling!

This gorgeous bird is Doodle Pantry's Bluejay and comes as an outline and a coloured version. I used the outline and coloured him myself and am really impressed with how he turned out! I cut a circle, added clouds and then popped up the bluejay. Hop on over to Stamptacular Sunday Challenges and give the challenge a try, its easy its spring bling!
