a hot cocoa kind of day!

hello all!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
and hopefully it sends some nice warm wishes your way!

It's a Hot Chocolate Kind of Day Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, Embossing Paste, Stencil, Snowflakes, Heat Embossing, Cup of Cocao, Snowfall, #newtonsnook #snowflakes #cocoa

I used Distress Oxide inks in Black Soot and Iced Spruce to ink blend a gradient background in one corner of the card. then I splattered some white acrylic ink and water on top!
once that was dry, I used some white embossing paste and the Snowfall stencil to add texture to the background.

I colored all of the images from Cup of Cocoa with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto some black cardstock and then fussy cut out around it and popped it up with foam tape!

I really like the rainbow of cups stacked against that gradient background and all the texture!
be sure to check out the card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
