Hello Everyone. Hope you are all well.
Sharing another coffee and/or cocoa card for the CLH and will be linking it to the challenges below.

On with the design and ingredients.
Ingredients:
Paper: 80# and 110# Neenah white.
Ink/coloring medium: Distress ink in Kitchen Flamingo and Oxide in Festive Berries. VersaMark for EP.
Stamps: Mamma Elephant – Holliday Bitties. Hello Blue Bird – Frosty Littles. MFT – Hug in a mug.
Dies: Spellbinders – Fancy Edge ovals.
Embellishments: WoW embossing powder in Vintage Candy Cane. Red gel pen.

I created the background using the mug from Mama Elephant stamped with versamark. Added EP and heat embossed it. Distressed the panel edges with kitched flamingo and festive berries. Trimmed panel down and adhered to card base.
I created the sentiment panel on the oval by cutting the MFT two line sentiment and curving it slightly too fit the oval then added the candy cane and heart elements from the Hello Blue bird set and stamped in Distress Oxide – Festive Berries. Once dry I filled in the candy canes and heart with a red gel pen. The photo doesn’t capture the glimmer from the EP or gel pen. The ovals are popped up on thin foam squares.
Hoping you can see all the shine here.
