Wintery Cup of Cocoa

It's a chilly day here, perfect for a cup of cocoa. With that in mind, I pulled out my Cup of Cocoa stamp set from Clear & Simple Stamps for today's SCS sketch challenge. I really like the combination of images and sentiments in this set--I have to say that it's definitely becoming a favorite.

I went with a wintery blue color scheme for the card. The coordinating patterned papers come from a DCWV winter mat stack. I layered all of the pieces on Brocade Blue mats. To add a little texture, I stretched a piece of light blue grosgrain ribbon across the cardfront and added a button-embellished bow.

The cocoa image is colored with Copic markers. I curved the "sip. enjoy. repeat." sentiment to match the circle panel and stamped it in matching blue ink. Simple and warm feeling.
