For this card, I used the fun set called NORTH POLE OR BUST! It's a great set that is full of fun and whimsical images featuring Sprinkle the Kat, Poochie the Pooch and the fun penguins!!!
I also created a watercolored background and diecut it with the DOTS die set and added some fun snowflakes using the FIVE SNOWFLAKES die HERE .

 I colored the image with Copic markers.

Sunday Sip: CLC Fall/Winter Blog Hop and The Cat's Pajamas!

Hello there Coffee/Tea/Cocoa loving friends!  I'm back with another fun Sunday Sip and Share!  I hope you've been enjoying the Fall/Winter Hop thus far!  If you haven't been following or playing along, you can hop right over to the post and find out more!  Just click on the cozy coffee/mittens image and you'll get right to it!  Thank you sooo much to all the fabulous Super Sponsors who so graciously and generously provide prizes for this amazing hop. Thanks also to the hundreds and hundreds of participants!  Without you, we wouldn't be able to have a fun hop like this!  And to Amy, the master planner, organizer, procurer of prizes, picker of prizes, commenter extraordinaire and hop creator, so much gratitude for all that you do! 

Today, I'm featuring the adorable Ship Happens (tea) stamp set by Super Sponsor The Cat's Pajamas.  I paired it with the fun Dots Die.

To start my creation, I used the following inks on my Gelli Plate.  I dropped a few drops of each color on the plate then spritzed with water.  I rubbed it around with my finger until I liked how it pooled.  Next, I set the paper atop the ink and lightly pressed to lift the color.  After that, I spritzed it with Silver Shimmer Spritz spray.

After the page was dry, I diecut it using the Dots Die and then diecut another white cardstock panel to allow me to inlay the watercolor dots.  I have saved the reverse background design for a future project.

Next, I glued the dots into place and added a snowflake diecut from the Five Snowflakes die.  I added some teal ribbon, some bling and mounted this panel onto blue cardstock and then onto the white card base.  

A closer peek at the image will show that I colored with Copics and then went over that with colored pencils.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project.  I'm holding off on the next sketch challenge until next week-so get hopping!
