Challenge #214

Theme 'Anything Goes'

My mini team are using the digi 'Hot Chocolate' by Berry Dust this week and I have decided to make a bag for my Grandson :)

To begin with I used some pre die cut fur trees which I placed around the bottom left and around the side of the bag then finished off with some Christmas ribbon all the way round.

I added a verse I found, think it was from Splitcoasters which seemed perfect for the mug of hot chocolate.  Next I coloured the digi with Promarkers,  The marshmallow top section was embossed with White Foam embossing powder.  For the mug section I used Derwent crayons as I didn't want the smooth finish of the Promarkers or the depth of colour but to have more rustic look.  This section was embossed with clear embossing power for a real touchy feely effect.  The digi was fussy cut and attached to the bag with foam tape.

Time to die cut - I had planned on using pre cut foam letters but apart from not being able to find them I remembered they were only numbers anyway - not much use lol.  Using SCAL and my die cutter I took the easy route :) These were then coloured with a green Promarker and finished off with gold and clear embossing powders.

 Promarkers used

And there we have it, a quick project and come Christmas time when filled with a new mug, hot chocolate and a bag of marshmallows I hope one wee boy will have a happy smile on his face :) :) :) I did add some white pom-pom things for a bit of fun to represent snow and a ribbon to the top of the bag because I like bows hahaha.
