When the weather is nasty and the wind is howling, it's time to bring in the fur babies, make hot cocoa, and snuggle up on the couch, leaving the freezing cold outside where it belongs. This darling image from A Day for Daisies reminded me of "hot cocoa evenings" from my childhood. How could I resist making a card?
I started with the sketch from Atlantic Hearts, flipped side to side,
and used the colors from Inspired by Stamping.
The image and sentiment are both printed right onto the card front because I wanted a really CAS card. I colored with my ProMarkers, added a spatter of glitter to the pompom on her cap, and inked the edges. I sponged around the borders with an ink pad. This card was the first done in colors that allowed me to use my brand new velvet ribbon that I got for Christmas. I'm so crazy about that ribbon and I got it in three different shades of pink. This one is the darkest and, yes, it's just as soft and scrumptious as it looks!

I'm really proud of myself for managing a post every day this past week. I had a miserable bout of the flu last week and it's taking forever to shake it off. I am up and about most of the day now but I did sneak off for a nap the last two days. I still have no voice and I tire easily but I've gotten a lot done despite that.
Be sure to stop by tomorrow. After a four month break, Open-Minded Crafting Fun is back and I've rejoined the team! We're going to have monthly challenges now, starting on the 10th of each month. You won't want to miss our first January challenge, with multiple sponsors for more chances to win!! :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Ahhhhhh....precious! Weather is t that cold outside here, but dreary and rainy. With the back surgery, curling up...well trying, with cocoa and pets and movies is perfect so this card is perfect.
I love how that fur baby is helping to get the snuggle night off to a good start. Great card Connie. I am sorry sorry to hear you have started out this new year with a terrible bout of the flu. I'll be praying for a quick recovery for you. Try not to do too much.
Hugs,
