Falling for Christmas Cocoa

Hey all! Happy Friday! I'm popping in today to share a little Christmas goodness with you I was inspired by a few different challenges/events.

First up is the kick-off to the Falling For the Holidays linky party over at the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers blog. I thought it was the perfect chance to ink up this adorable Cocoa Love stamp set from Not 2 Shabby. I was so excited that it finally came back in stock, since I missed out on it last winter. I also wanted to use the darling new Gingerbread Kisses paper pad.

The challenge this week in the There's a Stamp for That group on Facebook includes my Mojo Sketch 526 as one of the options. I couldn't pass up a chance to take another look at this sketch, so got to work selecting papers and cutting all my layers.  Once the papers were selected, I colored up the cocoa cup image with Copic markers and cut with the Cocoa Love Shabby Snips, cutting a few extra to layer up for dimension.  Next I cut a couple of the peppermint images from the papers I was using and coated with my sparkle lacquer pen.  The sentiment is from the Cup of Cheer set. I added a few white gel pen and glossy accents here and there to my image, then adhered everything to an A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
