Today is National Cocoa Day and I want to celebrate it with you and with my friends of the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2017.

Definitely it is the event that I really love because I can use and combine all my stamps in different seasons and today I made a card using several brands that I really like.

The base of this card is Whisper White cardstock. The second layer is also whisper white cardstock. I decorated it created a design with the Swirl Stencil from Hero Arts and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I pasted this layer directly over the card base. In a separate piece of whisper white cardstock I printed the fantastic image from Limited Runs Stamps called Flower Mug and colored with Prismacolor Premier color pencils, then fussy cut the image with my scissors. I also cut some Die-Namics Stitched Arch Stax from MFT in different colors of card stock and pasted it with dimensions to create the base of my cocoa mug. As final touch I added some Gloss White Nuvo Crystal Drops around of the green stitched arch to create a big contrast of colors. The sentiment Cold Days Deserve is part of the Christmas Cocoa stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps and was stamped with Sapphire Blue Delicata Ink from Imagine.

I hope my card inspires you and today, National Cocoa Day, you enjoy the best Cocoa Mug! And don’t forget the sale promotions during the this week:
