Snowy's Cup Gift Box

Today is my last Christmas post for this month and I have a special project to show to you today using the new High Hopes Christmas, Snowy's Cup and Cup of Cocoa Sentiment....

I thought this image and sentiment was too special to showcase on a card so I wanted to create a gift box for a friend to let the image be front and center.  I made the box using sturdy cardstock and using my Score Pal.

Here is my High Hopes Stamps Christmas card for this super fun hop where I used the High Hopes Winter Wonderland Background and masked the new High Hopes Candy Cane Penguin stamp.... 

On the background stamp I made one of the snowy hills into ice for this fun Penguin to skate on.  To colour the sky and the ice I took a q-tip saturated in the Copic 0 Blender solution and wet both areas then I took a refill bottle of Copic B0000 and went over the areas I put the 0 Blender to create the shaded sky and ice.  After that was dry I then took my 0 Blender marker and added skating lines to the ice.
