The weekend is here and it is time for another Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge! Here in Ontario we have been experiencing lots of snow and VERY cold temperatures. I really am tired of winter and wanted to make something that reminded me of spring...so let me introduce you to Berry Sweet Cocoa! 
I just love the simplicity of this sketch, with the scallop edge in the middle. I tucked sweet Cocoa into the grass which I cut myself until I am able to find the MS grass punch at Michaels. I am hoping they will bring it in this spring. I coloured sweet Cocoa with copics and shaded around the edge with a prisma pencil in slate blue.

Love Love LOOOOOOVE this sweet card, Christine! The grass and little white flowers look FANTASTIC! Love the green gingham, too. It's all just as SWEET as can BE! :)
Christine, this card is super duper adorable! LOVE the hand cut grass! Brilliant idea!!
I didn't realize you were Canadian too! I was born in Ontario. Calgary is now home though. It's been a cold winter for us too but this weekend it's supposed to be about 5C!!! Heat wave!
Stay warm!

Wow what a fab card, love the papers and the colour combo and the grass on your image looks fab...hugs Shelly x
Sorry to hear you are still suffering from the snow. Our bulbs are starting to just show their tips in the garden. It is still cold here though. Amazed you cut that grass yourself. Looks fab. I have a grass Sizzix die which is great. Love the fresh colours and the cute image. Marianne x
Hi Christine. This is really gorgeous. Love the layout and the colours. Adorable image. Can't wait for the strawberries to be in season again. The grass is brilliant, wouldn't have guessed it was hand-cut. Don't think you need a punch. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Donna
Oh this is adorable Christine .. i love your grass.. and the way the image is just peeking through

Hi Christine, wow stunning card and it does make you feel as though perhaps Spring is coming. Im so sorry to hear that its been so cold in Canada this year, its been bad enough in the UK, but luckily we dont get the same amount of snow that you do, not sure we would be able to cope with it if we did, everything stops over here when it does snow. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxx
This is beatiful!!
The colors are amazing!
Love the grass,the papers, everything.

This is lovely Christine. It's my favourite colour combination and what a sweet stamp. I hope your cold snap doesn't last too long. We've had a week of mild but very wet weather and now it's turned cold again. Spring can't come quickly enough!
I love this!!! Great idea on the grass! :) And I absolutely love your color scheme!!
Very sweet!
Love how you are playing with Cocoa. A wonderful take on this sketch, Christine. Great papers and your grass adds an extra dimension. What a treat! Hope the weather improves! Hugs, Lesley
Christine this is an awesome card! I love the grass detail. Overall fantastic! :-)
This is just too cute for words!! I love the gingham and the grass looks amazing. Your coloring looks so great too!! Try and stay warm.
This is sooo sweet. I love the way everything matches. The grass is perfect. You always add so much to your cards that ties everything together.. Great job Christine.
I can think of nothing better for winter therapy than to do a card that reminds you of summer and spring! Such a nice combination of papers, love the colors! Sorry it's so cold - it's been in the low 70's here, not much of a winter here! Hope all is well, hugs, J:)
I absolutely LOVE your choice of colors and papers on this adorable card! Forget the MS punch - your hand-cut grass looks 100 X's better!! I'm gaga for gingham now :)
Christine this is just darling. I love the grass and strawberry flowers in the foreground. Fabulous job and darling stamp.
Hugs xx

Love the grass and flowers in front of Cocoa, sweet sweet card!!
Awesome Cocoa card. Great coloring! :o)
ADORABLE and I can't believe that you make that grass yourself!!! It's AWESOME. I was sure it was a punch. I can't seem to find the MS grass punch either.
So sweet, love how your card turned out with this sketch...and the grass is amazing with this cute image! I LOVE your blog and creations! :)
