I used two of the smaller Nestabilities Labels 1 dies for the white cardstock and matte on top of the kraft (which I picked because, well, coffee and hot chocolate). I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed the charms from Gina K's Charmed Life set for Winter/Christmas, Winter/Valentine's Day and Spring. I then used Prismacolor watercolor pencils and a waterbrush to color the mugs. I then pre-assembled everything except the images.
I cheated a bit on the liquid applique. I popped the images into my freezer for 30 minutes, and then used the heat embossing gun to puff it up. But, since it wasn't very long to set, even with the freezing, they didn't puff up quite right :(. Note to self: Don't try to use LA for timed challenges :(. I cut the mugs out, adhered them down and applied the glossy accents to create a glaze look, and done!.
