Cute, Chocolate and Mint

Happy Saturday. Can you believe that it has taken me all day to come up with an idea for this card. I think I have spent to much time out in the 98 to 100 degree heat here in the south. I am so looking forward to the fall and some cool weather. The problem with the heat here is that once it hits 90 it never goes away. We have been having this type of weather for months. Oh well, what are you going to do.

You know how I like challenges and you probably know how much I love Mo's Digital images and do you have any idea how much I love chocolate and mint. Well, this card puts all of these things together. But, first lets start with the sketch. It is from The Pixie Cottage their challenge is to use the sketch and or 2 stamps. I took that to mean a sentiment with an image or 2 images.  I chose to use a Mo's Digital Image one of the terrible twos. I love these images. But, the challenge was paper piecing. So, I made 3 copies of the image and layered them together to give it more dimension. I think I will show my card here.

I thought that these two stamps go together so well.

I think that the layering will be considered paper piecing. I am not sure why my brown/chocolate papers always look black. At least the greens look green. I colored the image with my copics. G21, G12, G00, Y02, Y11, E31, E33, E21, E09, E25. I used my spica glitter pens in chocolate on th sentiment and yellow and mint on the image. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the paper. The card stocks are all Bazzill. The sentiment stamp was bought at Hobby Lobby on the clearance rack. I paid $1.49 for it. the brads are from Recollections and have been in my stash for over a year.The ribbon is from my stash. The sparkly flower is from Prima I think it is the spring mix. The flower beneath it is a paper flower was white, and I bought it at Michaels and I paid $.99 for the pack. I then colored it with G21. Well, I guess that it is about the card. Now for the other challenges that I am putting it in.
