How y'all doing today?
I'm getting ready for work but it's all good... none of the same stress from last week. This week is all about the routine. :)
Still, I can't really dilly dally with my post so I'll just jump right into it... my card today fits two different challenges. First is the Quixotic "hot chocolate" challenge. I don't like coffee and I don't drink tea but I love a good mug of cocoa on a cold day so this one was right up my alley. We're supposed to think chocolate, marshmallows, whipped cream and all that yummy goodness so I pulled my color scheme of off-white and browns from that... just looking at this makes me thirsty, mmmmmmm. I'm becoming convinced that good eats make for great card inspiration... ;)
Next I used Ria's sketch challenge from All That Scraps for the over-all layout design. I loved the swirly circle in the center and new I had the perfect stamp to re-create it as a window for little Chanter. :)
Now if you decide to do the ATS challenge too don't forget that in order to be eligible for the weekly prize you can't combine it with any other challenges.
Ok, that's all I've got for today. Take care and I'll see y'all back here tomorrow. :)
