My Creative Time: Designer's Challenge

Hi, today we have a Designer's Challenge over on the My Creative Time blogYou can create a project using inspiration from the photo, the colors, or both!


So here is what I created by using inspiration from the colors and the photo. 




When I saw the photo I just knew I had to create a hot cocoa treat mug. I also knew I could decorate it in style with Emma's amazing products!! 

I had a file I purchased last year from Treasure Box Designs called Cocoa pals. I used the sweet little bear from the set as well. I added a Peachy Keen Stamps: Teddy Bear Face. I inked and chalked the edges of the bear. I adorned her ear with a cute little snow flake from MCT: Winter Flake Dies. I added a small silver sequin to the center. The little marshmallows she is holding are Peachy Keen Stamps from their Scent with Love set.

Once I had the mug glued together, I added white gel pen accents to the edges.



For the mug accents, I used MCT: Bunch of Fun Circles along with MCT: Stitched Doily. They fit perfectly together!!! Going to have to used them layered more often!

I then embellished the doily with the two larger snow flakes from the MCT: Winter Flake Die set. It doesn't show too well in the photo but the snow flakes were cut using sparkly silver paper. I also added a small sequin to it as well.

I added the sentiment from MCT: You're So Cool Stamp Set to a cut out from MCT: Vintage Stitched Label Die.

I finished the project by adding a sparkly white ribbon to the mug handle and then added a small snow flake to the center. Then I added the little bag of hot cocoa mix to it.

A fun and easy project to cheer up someone's day!
