Christmas is Coming!

 
Hi there!
 
It has been quite awhile since I have entered a project over at The Shabby Tea Room!  I do love red and gingham and was inspired to use my little muslin bags from SU for a quick Christmas gift.  The challenge required to use the colors of red, white and brown.  Here is the beautiful inspiration photo we were to follow...
 
 
 
I started with a muslin bag and stamped the background with snowflakes.  A cup image from Hero Arts was stamped and paper pieced.  Gingham ribbon and snowflake placed for added interest.  I stitched a little stocking using felt and twine and filled it with candy canes, ivy, and pine cones.  I used copics to color inside the cup for the appearance of hot chocolate and applied glossy accents.  Hot chocolate mix was placed in a plastic bag inside the muslin bag and tied with ribbon, twine, and a cute little stocking button.


OK, that's all for now, friends.  I thank you so much for viewing my project today!  Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, hugs!
