Mmmm...... Warm Cocoa

Good morning, Fall is starting to arrive here and I am enjoying the cooler air for a change - makes walking Gizzie so much easier.

 

It's my showcase day over on the So Suzy blog and I'm following along with the challenge theme.. Happiness is...

 

Who enjoys snuggling up with a loved one on a Fall evening - I know I do and there is just on thing that makes this perfect.....

 

 

A hot cup of cocoa!!!

 

Yes I have used the fab Hot cocoa and you by my side stamp. That and the Happiness is.. stamp have been stamped in a latte colored ink. The cup is an image from Freshly Brewed Designs that I have colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I have then used the swirly hearts stamp to add swirls to the opposing corners and the hearts from the same stamp drifting away from the heart shaped steam.

 

Once stamped I matted the design onto teal card and a 6x6 pale blue card blank.

 

As well as these there are lots of other stamps in the Happiness is... range over at the store that would be suitable to enter our challenge this month

Happiness is a Butterfly

Good morning from a sunny Michigan we have had a week of good weather - a bit misty at times but the sun broke through eventually.

 

I just adore using So Suzy's Stamps and the card I am showcasing today is no exception

 

 

 I stamped the Fancy Butterfly onto white card but instead of using a solid color I used four different memento dye inks and stamped using my fab new tool the MISTI. I then used the Happiness Is.... stamp before running the card through my printer to add the verse which was typed up on my PC. I wanted the card to remain clean and simple so I matted the image onto card of 2 colors chosen from the butterfly then added pearls in the lovely citrus green color I also used to stamp the image.
