Card Making / Chocolate Love for MHC#15 魔力手作挑戰#15

    Hello! Happy Wednesday.  We finally got lovely sunshine after a coupe of weeks of cold weather and rain. As spring is in the air, it couldn't be better to see sunshine out there.  Today I have a card to share with you. This month, More Handmade Challenge asks participants to make projects with hot cocoa. You can use the shape, the color or the image of  hot cocoa.

    As a big fan of mint chocolate, I know I have to use this color combo on my project. I think it's a good idea to bring some fresh and bright colors in this season. To start off, I  used a triangle shape stencil with Crack Pistachio Distress Ink, and then used Hot Fudge Hybrid Ink from MFT to stamp my sentiments.  I also stamped some splattered images from Hero Arts with a yellow dye ink.

    After finishing my background paper, I died cut a piece of yellow pattern paper with MFT's wonky stitched rectanle die, letters(from PTI) and a polaroid frame(from Maggie Holmes). I also stamped a couple of cute images on a white cardstock, colored with my watercolor, and then fussy cut them out.  After all decorative accents were ready, all I needed to do is to put them together.

    下了幾個星期的雨，太陽終於露臉了！遲來的春天的氣息，一掃之前的潮濕與陰冷。在寒冷的溫度之下，來杯熱巧克力暖暖身子簡直不要太幸福！

    這個月的魔力手作挑戰的主題是熱可可。一想到熱可可就是巧克力做的，我決定把最愛的薄荷巧克力拿來當作靈感，決定了主色之後，接下來就是找一些搭配的色系和圖案來用。在構思這張卡片的時候其實前前後後搭配了好幾種構圖，因為自製的背景底紙比較複雜，最後決定用比較簡單的圖案來搭配。

    介紹一下這次自製的美編紙，我先用型板刷了薄荷綠的顏色，刷的時候只要這裡一點顏色，那裡一點顏色就好，不用把整張卡紙都刷滿，然後用MFT的松露巧克力印台來蓋所有的字章。

    在蓋的時候，大字章是我的主要重點，所以沾了印台就直接蓋在卡紙上，然後小的長條型字章則是蓋過一次之後直接蓋第二次，讓兩種深淺的咖啡色蓋滿卡紙，又不會因為顏色太重而讓人眼花撩亂。最後我還蓋了一些噴濺的圖案，當然如果你沒有這種印章，直接拿把刷子沾顏料灑一些在卡紙上也可以，我用印章蓋是因為這樣比較好控制。

    由於美編紙已經很花俏了，所以搭配的圖案或圖卡要盡量選用同一個色調的，重點突出的顏色不必很大片，有畫龍點睛的效果就好，這樣才能讓卡片看起來平衡又有抓人眼球的地方。
