Hello everyone Happy Tuesday! Von Marie here and I’m so happy to be on the Inspired by…Blog today. This week our theme is Hot Chocolate Yummy and we also have a fun card sketch. I love the inspiration photo and card sketch aren’t they great? How are you inspired?
I was inspired by the photo, the hot chocolate mug, chocolates, colors, and card sketch. I chose this fun stamp set from my stash by Unity Stamps Co. called It’s A Mug Hug. This stamp set has a lot of nice sentiments too so I will use one for my card also. I stamped and heat embossed my mug and sentiment with Versafine Onyx ink and clear embossing powder from Hero Arts on watercolor cardstock. I then colored my image looking at the photo using my Karin Brush Pro markers, water, and a paintbrush. I also flicked some brown paint splatters onto my image like the photo. I let it dry and then fussy cut my mug out using some detailed scissors.
I also used a Layering stencil set from Pretty Pink Posh called Layered Chocolates. I had really wished for one of these Hot Chocolates or I would settle for some chocolates in real life as I was making this card I used Distress inks in Spun Sugar Distress oxide ink, Vintage Photo, and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink. I used watercolor cardstock and white cardstock. I then fussy cut some of the chocolates. I found some pattern paper in my stash and cut my paper according to the card sketch. I then put my card together popping up some chocolates with foam tape and adding everything to a A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base. I had so much fun making this card.
