We have some treats for you over at Sparkles Challenge with our theme of Holiday Treats - this nearly had me stumped when I remembered my fab set called Mug Hugs from Sunny Studio.
I started off by stamping the mugs and the treats. I added some retired Stampin Up Stamps Background Grunge for the details on the mugs stamping it in Ranger Archival Ink in Vermillion. I then used a Tri-Blend pen by Spectrum Noir in Antique Pink blend to colour them in and add shading. I used SU Grey Granite Stampin Blends for the cream and the marshmallows. I used a Tri-Blend pen in Muted Brown for the cookies and the same pink and red for the icing - covering them in Glossy Accents to make them shine. The candy canes were coloured in with Lime Otter watercolour brush pen and Wink of Stella was added over the pens and the cream and marshmallows to give them a shine. I cut them all out by hand as I don't have the matching dies.... yet!
For the background I used some Tim Holtz ink in Vintage Photo to distress the edge and used the coffee stain stamp from SU in TH Ground Espresso. I used SU Chocolate Chip for the easel which is from the retired set Painter's Palette. I used some embossing powder in white for the sentiment on the black card stock and added some hearts and snowflakes and then used a square die cut to cut this out and add to the easel.
I'm also adding this in to the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland challenge which is also Sweet Treats
The Holly and the Ivy challenge - anything goes.
