This is for the Free 4 All Challenge by Dawn who gave us a theme of Sweater Weather and texture. The embossed panel was a gift from Karen Art Deco Diva with her Teapotters Tickle card. I thought it looked very much like a sweater so I put it to good use right away. Thank you Karen! A cup of warm coffee or tea goes right along with chilly weather. I practiced coloring with my Blends markers. I die-cut the image and sentiment with stitched dies and ran a Blushing Bride marker around the edges. Since sweaters are made from yarn, the panel was wrapped with a scrap from my MIL who sends me all her left-overs from her crocheting projects. As some sweaters have embellishments, I added SU Fleurette. Lastly, I finished up with a glitter pen on the steam swirls and heart border. Always love a touch of sparkle. A warm greeting for sweater weather. Thanks Dawn. TFL

Oh Diane, what a wonderful card this is! I think there is a double tickle going on here because I sure am tickled to see how you used this embossed panel. Your coloring of this wonderful mug of yummy goodness with your stampin blends is beautifully done. I sure want to wrap my hands around that mug right now. I adore this crochet flower that is from your MIL and is so perfect for this card. I also adore the yarn treatment you did behind your sentiment panel- fun! What a fantastic card this is for the Free For All Challenge my friend. ~Karen.
