I have a friendship card to show you, this time. My card uses the image and sentiment, Chocolate, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers are from my stash. I went with mostly shades of brown, in honor of chocolate, but added a touch of pink. Pink heart shaped gemstones, in two sizes, were used on each side of the image.

For my something sweet card, I am using this yummy mug of Hot Chocolate from the Mug Set available in the Shelly's Images Store. I've colored the image with Promarkers. This is breast cancer awareness week, so I just had to use some pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness and Survivors. Of course, the Image Has chocolate and marshmallows, so when we throw those in, we have a Pink, Brown and Cream color combo. For my card layout, I used the sketches at Creative Craft Challenges and at The Pixie Cottage. I've used three different designer papers, all from my stash. I used two decorated inchies in each corner. (If you haven't tried these, they are so much fun to make!) The image and one of the inchies have had glitter and sparkle added with a clearstar gelly roll pen. The sentiment is by Stampin Up and is punched with the word window and modern label punches. The inchies are decorated with a cupcake, flower, sparkly rhinestones and a hand stamped background. I've used foam mounting tape to attach the image, the inchies and the sentiment, to give the card a 3D effect.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
