A Cozy Cupful ~ Double D Challenges

Hello friends ~ Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge and the theme is "Christmas Trees".
Quite a long time ago, my dear friend Marcia sent me this Cozy Cupful image from Power Poppy Stamps.  I colored it using prisma colored pencils, adding a bit of glossy accents to the ornament. I masked out a deckle edge rectangle and did a bit of ink blending around the edge.  

The old fashioned sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I love the vintage font!
A quick and easy CAS card to end the year with.  

Here's the lovely inspiration panel Darlene put together for you:

And here's the prize you could win when you play along at Double D Challenges.  I can't wait to see what you create!

I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Yep, I recognized that Power Poppy image right away! You have colored it so well and it is so dainty. Using colored pencils is stunning and that font for the sentiment is perfect!

This is the sweetest little tree and a favorite PP stamp set. I've always thought it must be a very tiny tree to fit in a tea cup. It's so lovely to see it on a card again, and you did that beautifully, Birgit!

Your sweet gift from Marcia was put to good use, Birgit! The teacup tree is darling and I love the way you've colored it. What a delightful card!

I love this card so much and actually have a cute scene in an old vintage tea cup I bought years ago, your card reminds me of it, it's fabulous!

Oh dear. I thought I commented on this challenge, but I guess not. Blame it on Christmas fatigue. I LOVE your design here, that tree is FABULOUS, and so sweet in that cup!! Best wishes for a blessed 2025. Hugs!
