Stampin' In Alaska

My shaker card features a sweet digital image from super sponsor Sweet 'n Sassy called Snowman in Mug .   The image was printed, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The mug was paper pieced with coordinating paper from Doodlebug. I finished the card with a couple of sparkly snowflake stickers, stickles and a holiday sentiment from Stampin' Up.  I would like to share my card with the following: 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Polkadoodles Craft Challenge:  Week 46 Anything Goes   Gem of a Craft Challenge:  Week 23 Anything Goes  Allsorts Challenge Blog:  Week 702 Anything Goes
