Coffee card swap Jan.2018

I joined the coffee card swap group for 2018. This is my first card. The recipient is in NJ, and east coast of US has recently experienced the Bomb Cyclone! It dropped to - 3 F (MINUS 3 F!) one morning in Virginia! That doesn't happen quite often in that area. Apparently US is having a cold winter, esp. at east coast. I thought I would send "WARM" wishes card to her. 😊
So, first, I stamped a BIG cup! LOL Then, I stamped a kitty stamp on it. I love kitties, and this is from one of my newest stamp set. I stamped steam with versa mark, dusted off with perfect pearls. I stamped "wood grain", lightly water colored. I used MFT stamp's sun ray stencil for the sun, and after coloring the stencil, I used wink of stella pen to give some "shimmer" to the sun rays. It's kind of hard to tell in the picture. I colored the BIG coffee mug with the same color as the stripe designed background paper from Lawn Fawn. Basically, I made a card for her to feel the warmth, just looking at it, in this cold winter. .. 😊 Hope I'm succeeded...😉

My new little succulent is in the back....
