Today's challenge is all about food. My favorite food is chocolate. My snowman has hot chocolate. At Christmas I love to buy hot chocolate in different flavors such as, raspberry, mint and double chocolate. Christmas also holds a special memory of one Christmas when I received a 2 lb. box of chocolates! I never believed my parents would give me that much chocolate at one time! LOL It's a fond memory that arises each time I see chocolate candy or hot chocolate.
My card base was made with the alcohol ink marbling technique. I tore paper at the bottom and stamped with versamark ink. I added heat and stick powder, then white flock. The images were colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. White liquid applique was added then heated. The small images were added with mini dimensionals.

Love your blue background and it really looks like snow on the ground! And naturally you would know I love snowmen! Hot Chocolate is wonderful on a cold day! Adorable card!
Thanks for playing!

Those cute snowmen again! I like the blue and purple colours. I like chocolate in small amounts but I find if I have too much it makes me feel depressed! So if stretch a 2lb box out for weeks. What a fun memory, though.

My favourite food is chocolate too, but I will be going in a completely different direction with my card. Those snowmen are so cute, as are the birds. I love how you coloured them, and your realistic looking snow us awesome.

Thanks for the details about the snow...it looks fabulous and goes so nicely with your pretty blue bg. What a great snowman image you chose and I love the little add on like the heart, birds, and hot chocolate. I like hot chocolate, but it makes me want a nap.

Adorable card! Your write-up reminded me of a family tradition: our family always had See's Candies truffles as a special treat, and a "rite of passage" of sorts was getting a box all to ourselves on our twelfth birthday. I'm not sure how/why the tradition started, but it was fun!
