Sometimes, admittedly not often this time of year, I know exactly the what, where, when, and how of an inspiration challenge - that was the case this morning when my friend LeAnne introduced me to The Card Concept challenge #167.
Here is my Clean and Simple creation using Elizabeth Crafts perfect Marshmallow Snowmen...
I've checked and it seems the stamps are no longer available - sorry.
I was inspired by the colors, the berries and greenery, darling cups, and of course the marshmallows in the photo.
While looking for a suitably interesting place to pose this hot tub cup o' cocoa, I came upon some bits of already stamped greenery and berries from PTI's Spruce and Sprigs. My newest panel die from Pinkfresh Studio - Stitched Scallop Rectangles was cut from Neenah white 110# cardstock. I embossed the middle section the die cuts to provide a little lift and added that sweet signage.
Oh, it was so fun to be inspired again! Thanks, TCC!
