I have some exciting news to share with you today. I've been asked to join the DT for the Crazy for Cocoa Challenge blog found here and of course I couldn't say no!! This is the 2nd week for this new challenge, and in case you don't know what Crazy for Cocoa is all about, Sweet 'n Sassy stamps has a little mouse called "Cocoa" that appears on many clear and digital stamp sets found in the store. I fell in love with this cute little guy the first time I saw a stamp set hanging in a local stamp store and I had to buy it immediately. The above image of Cocoa is called Santa's Little Helper and it just makes me smile :) The challenge this week is to make a Christmas creation. I used Jovial DP by BG along with Real Red, and New Leaf cardstock. I embossed the red top note die cut with a square lattice ef and layered the image with Labels ten Nestabilities. Cocoa was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Tombows & a damp brush. I added some dazzling diamonds to the fur and pom-pom on Santa's hat for the final touch.
If you like Cocoa as much as I do, I hope you'll come on over and play too! Last week there was a free digi just for playing along, and a lucky participant for the month of December will pick up a free stamp set, so check it out!
Thanks for stopping by and stay warm!!! BRrrrrr, it's way too cold for me already and it's not even winter yet........is it?? Take care and have a fabulous day!
