I managed to get a couple of cards made last night ...
Both cards have chocolate in them so I am entering them into the Simon Says Stamp challegne which is hot chocolate and Quixotic Challenges which is hot chocolate. And as the colour combo in both is pink, brwon, chocolate and toffee I am entering them into the Charisma Cardz challenge.
The first card also uses my new stamp and new ink pad so I am entering it into Cute Card Thursday's all new challenge.
I have watercoloured the image and then distressed the edges using my new colorbox pink set (thanks Wendy!) Just a band of pink ribbon as this is such a big image.I followed the Trully Scrumptious sketch and used my new ink pad to distress.
Again the image is watercoloured ... I confess to removing the other icke meece as the iamge wouldn't fit my nesties! I matted the image and dp onto brown cardstock. Flowers and a sentiment to complete it.I am still on my 'lets keep things clean and simple' resolution ... .got a feeling the next card won't fit that as it will involve paper pleating!!!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): House Mouse Hot Chocolate; Cupcake; sentiment from Cuddly Buddly
Colouring Media:Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Bittersweet
Embellishments: flowers, pearls and ribbon from stash

Hi Cathy - don't boilers always break down in the middle of winter - I think they're programmed at 'birth' to do this - hope you soon get it fixed.
Two fabulous cards - love em both, some of the HM stamps are just huge aren't they? Great take on Mina's sketch but poor little chopped of mousie - you could cut around him and pop him on the inside. Love the BG papers you've used.
Thanks so much for playing along.
hugs Heather xx
