Warm and Toasty with Friends

I made wintery and warm and toasty cards.  Sending one of these cards is strange when it's going to be in the mid 60's here. 

I took a little liberty with this delightful Doodle Pantry image called Cocoa Ants.  I used the "pre-colored" image, but colored the ants with copics. Having an extra window card laying around, I took advantage. As I looked outside my house I noticed all the brown branches, so I added the same to my card. I used a crimper to add a curtain topper, but it's had to see.

A2, Holtz brick embossing folder, twine, branch die, metal embellishment

A very very very  older rub-on sentiment I found cleaning the craft room yesterday

    What a wonderful card! I just love the brick embossing folder. Reminds me of the PB stamp I just used. You did a great job with the cocoa ants. I do love the window die and the branch really looks realistic! Wonderful card!

    I still envy that brick background. And LOVE the marshmallow shadows! I don't have PSE, but I've been playing more and more in Fireworks - still figuring things out tho.

    This is so cute! The brick embossing adds such great texture to the outside. Those little ants are fun, too! Great, cheery yellow mug for them to be climbing all over!

    Another one of those great windows and those marvelous ants from Doodle Pantry, Cely! Love the texture in those embossed bricks. I think I 'need' that folder, right, don't I, huh?
