Hi! This Mug O' Chocolate Flavored Coffee and Card were made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Participants had to use CHOCOLATE! I could be a paper color, an ink color, or an Image!
So...I'm gonna tell you something...and this is major...I just got TRI-FOCALS yesterday...I wasn't even wearing GLASSES of any kind in over 18 years, and found out I was LEGALLY BLIND in one eye this ENTIRE TIME!!! How did I ever pass the driving tests and eye exams to get a license you ask? Well...I USED to have a photographic memory and could remember sequences of numbers and letters for YEARS... So, I would listen to the people in front of me as they were tested and I'd MEMORIZE the answers!!! OMGosh...I'm headed to Shrimcat's NAUGHTY list, I just know it!!! LOL!
Anyway, Speedy the Cat is a FAVORITE of the receptionist in the the optometrist's office, and SHE LOVES Mocha, which is Chocolate flavored COFFEE! What better gift than a bag of MOCHA beans?
I stamped the coffee cups onto watercolor paper and colored them with SU! markers. Next, I cut the out and layered them onto Nestibilities cut designer papers. The Mahogany layers were HAND CUT! YIKES...with tri-focals, it was more difficult than I thought it would be! LOL!

Yummy! I don't like coffee, but I do love chocolate! And this creation is very warm, cozy and makes me think of a big mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter's night. It's just gorgeous!
