Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #24 Cocoa Girl

Here is today's Midnight Madness #24 Sketch Challenge. I did Chelsea's Cocoa Girl this week for my image and I used some fabulous cork paper for Sue's McMahon Five store.Here is a picture of my card and the matching envelope. Notice these gorgeous flowers and wonderful feathers I was able to use on this creation. The largest part of the flower was made from Cork, the middle is Sitka wood, and the small flower is Cork again. They are all layered and held tother with a brad. I am so in love with Chelsea's images and I took liberties again to drawn in some boots on this girl. I thought she had the "Hip" 70's look going on and thought the boots were super. It is so easy to do. I just used a sharpie and a ruler. Don't you just love it!!This is the inside of my card. I started out with the three recipes for hot chocolate, then I decided to make a cup to actually hold a package of Swiss Miss chocolate.This picture shows the cup of Cocoa and the recipes all nestled snug inside the pocket of the card that I made. I really isn't too bulky.The cup has some machine stitching and an image to match the card and evelope. You could actually use this for a get well card by using different colors and include a package of cup-a-soup. You could do one with coffee or tea that would be really cute.
Here is everything altogether. I think it makes just a darling set. Be sure to stay tuned to the Midnight Madness blog tomorrow. A tutorial on how to make that Cocoa cup to fit in this card will be feature. I hope you enjoyed viewing my card for this week, I would love to hear what you think about it.
