Elisabeth Bell's Hug in a Mug

Here's one of Elisabeth Bell's beautiful stamps named Hug in a Mug.

Here's a close up of this adorable image in pink with her rosy cheeks and hot chocolate.

  

Here's the right side showing my bow with a fluffy snowflake in the middle with a pearl center ( the snowflakes dies are by Whimsy and Sizzix) Marianne Die cut trees, two pretty roses from Wild Orchid and a fern punch by Martha Stewart for the leaves.

 

Here's the left side showing my paper doily, the largest of the fluffy snowflakes with the pearl center, a crocheted flower with a an array of Wild Orchid flowers and white punched ferns.

I put Studio G glitter glue on the edge of all the flowers and I used Cool Glitter Ritz all over my paper doily. I made my fluffy snowflakes by diecutting heavy cardstock then applying white glue all over them and coating them with white Fun Flock. I let it dry and then applied another layer of white glue and more Fun Flock. It was quite messy, especially the glue on my fingertips, but the effect is wonderful and looks even nicer in person. I love non-traditional colors for winter cards and pink is one of them.
