Curt was a little concerned on Tuesday. He saw that snow birds were welcome at the Teapot Party , but none showed up! This made him think about his little buddy. So he went to get him to bring him back to the party but that crazy bird loves the snow.
So instead, Curt lent him his big sombrero to help keep the snow off and passed him his favorite beverage, hot chocolate with marshmallows! This just so happens to be the challenge for today…..”passing a hot beverage”. What a coincidence! hehe Oh Curt also poured in a tiny bit of peppermint snapps. That ought to warm his little buddie up! …..my card…..
The images are digis from DJInkers. For a very small price I got many images in b/w AND color! The clouds are RR cloud stencil with SU going gray, the snow drops are from SU itty bitty bg, all the snow was sponging with SU kraft white then white eb powder. Coloring of the images was done with stylus and SoHo colored pencils. The hat, Curts arms?legs?, and mug with hot chocolate and marshmallowsÂ…Mutnik. Oh and the checkered bg was cut from a sack that my favorite stamp store puts your purchases in.
Well, hope you enjoy my cardÂ…Â…..TFL :0)

Curt is so generous!! It is so nice of Curt to think of his little snowbird buddy and to keep him covered and warm! I so love the little mug of hot chocolate and the marshmallows, they look so real! This whole wintery scene is fantastic, nice to look at, glad I don't live in it!!
