Winter Fun at The Four Seasons Challenge

It's time for the February Challenge at The Four Seasons, and this is our last Winter challenge of the year.  There's a beautiful inspiration photo, but you don't have to follow it literally.  It's just a starting point for your creativity.  Perhaps the colors speak to you, or maybe an image in the collage.  Whatever says Winter to you is a great place to start.  Just let your creativity run wild with the theme of Winter and come link up with us at The Four Seasons.

I used a black cardstock base layered with various patterned paper scraps.  I used the Scallop Border Die from Creative Worship for the plaid border at the top.  The bottom portion was stamped using the Texture Tiles 9 Stamp Set which is also from Creative Worship.  The two coffee cups are stickers.  The stamped sentiment is from the Coffee Talk Stamp Set from Creative Worship Stamps.

I tied some Solid Black Baker's Twine around my card to add some texture.  I love the addition of ribbons and twines, and I can always find the perfect trims at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This is really a simple card.  You can share any type of Winter themed card or project in this fun challenge.  We just love and appreciate having you play along.

Don't you just LOVE these sweet stamps?  Yes!  Creative Worship has so many great coffee themed stamps, scripture stamps and all sorts of fabulous products.  Just take a peek at the inspiration photo, grab your crafting supplies, make something to share with us, and come play along.  It's also an opportunity to use up scraps of patterned paper and other left-over goodies, just like I did.

Thanks for visiting me here today.  We look forward to seeing what you'll be inspired to create and share with us.  The challenge stays open all month, so you have plenty of time to get creative and join us.  Have a wonderfully creative week, and I'll look forward to seeing you over at The Four Seasons Challenge.

I'll be sharing my card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "ANYTHING GOES"

TIME OUT Challenge Blog - Challenge #281 - Pick Two: I chose to use more than two including Layers (lots of paper layers), Heart, Food (coffees), Stitching (machine stitching) and of course, there's lots of LOVE any time coffee is involved.

Blessings,

Karen
