Mug Shot & Guest Designer Spot


Last week I was selected as a top pick at Raise the Bar Challenge and was asked to be a Guest Designer.  The challenge this week is called Mug Shot.  Since winter is almost gone (we wish), the challenge is to make a card showing that last mug of something hot that is needed to keep you warm.  Soon the weather will be nice and we will be drinking long cool drinks on the patio.

I decided to let this fun mug be the star of this card and go clean and simple.  For someone who loves to embellish, that was a bit difficult for me but I like the way it turned out.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Digi Doodle Shops Best - Spots and Dots
Outlawz Challenges - Prismas & Other Mediums - Punch it up
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
Paper Romance - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Coffee and Cream

Image:  Capuccino (Isabella's Sketchbook)
Card Stock:  Green (Bazzill), Brown (Recollections)
Papers:  Gold Polka Dot (Lasting Impressions), Brown Circle (Sandylion Sticker Designs)
Colouring Medium:  Pencil Crayons (Prismacolors) with OMS (Taltine)
Tools & Embellishments:  Chalk (Mungyo), Pearl Stickers (Recollections), Deco Fan Border Punch (Martha Stewart)
