Sweet n Sassy Warm Winter Hugs

These two cards feature a new stamp set, For the Birds, that I got at Sweet n Sassy stamps.  My intention was to use it to send greetings to my family and friends back in Pennsylvania where it is really cold, while we are vacationing in sunny Florida.  But, the joke is on me because this week isn't going to be warm or sunny here.

 

 
The stamped images were colored with pencils, then blended with a water brush before being fussy cut.  The sentiment was die cut and the edge faintly colored with marker before being positioned on a cricut cut piece of glitter paper.  Snowflakes are a cricut cut topped with a punch cut and a gem.
