Cocoa Christmas



 It's about time to be working on Christmas cards, isn't it? Here's my latest.

The central image is from Stamplorations -- a gingerbread man in a mug of cocoa. How cute is that? I've centered it on a die-cut doily and used a couple of fun pieces of Christmas patterned paper behind them. The sentiment is from Purple Onion, white embossed on red with a red gem.

This card is entered in these Challenges:

Die-Cut Divas -- Holiday cards

Double-Trouble #152 -- coffee/cocoa (met challenges 1 and 2)

Coffee Lovers blog hop -- cocoa theme

Word Art Wednesday #621 -- anything goes

    Sandy, all mugs of hot chocolate deserve wonderful cookies, candy canes and marshmallows! You central image is so cute, and I love how you used the doily to focus the eye on the image!! Those papers you chose for your background are so perfect as a complement to the image itself. Thank you for sharing your card with us here at Double Trouble for our "DaJa-BREW" challenge!!! -Donna
