Mix It Up! Challenge Blog #16: My Cocoa

Hello again crafty friends!  New month, lots of inspiration posts to get your mojo going.

This is my post for Mix It Up! Challenge Blog and this month challenge is "Anything Goes + optional Acrylic Block Stamping".

I created this cute and fun card using the acrylic block stamping technique and some die-cuts.  I probably need more practice with this technique, but it was fun to learn.  Need to make sure I use it again later.  The cocoa cup is a die-cut from the stamp-set Coffee & Cocoa, of course I used some of the stamps from this set.

I use a stamping pad when I stamp to help with pressure.  To make sure I don't get it messy, I put a scrap piece of paper over it.  I decided not to use the bright yellow gelatos. 

Here's the inside.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
