I also used the sketch from today's sketch challenge on Split Coast - here is the sketch we had to use.
My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 square. The designer paper is Half Way Cafe by Cosmo Cricket. I just love this Statue of Liberty Stamp by Paper Inspirations - I cut around her arm to keep it square in the center like the sketch.
My DH said the card looked too dark so I added yellow stickles to the stars, Liberty's flame and head gear.Here is what I stamped on the inside of the card - I also added some punched stars.
Stamps: Statue of Liberty: Paper Inspirations, 4th of July - Art Gone Wild, star : unknown foam stamp, Proud To Be An American: Stampendous

And now we come to the Warm Winter Wishes part!
I made this card for the A-Muse-A-Palooza Challenge 4 - a Sketch challenge seen here. You had to follow the sketch and use at least one Amuse stamp. I used this cute note card by Amuse called Cabana Blue Asterix and both stamps are by Amuse - the Penguin's name is Pete! I scored the rectangle panel to look like the marks in the ice from Pete's skates.I added stickles to the top of his hat as well as the centers of all the snowflakes just to give it a little sparkle.
So there you have the hot and cold of it!! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
