I found a scrap piece of yellow CS and dry embossed it after which I swiped a lighter yellow over the raised areas. Added this piece to another scrap that was a test of a new border die from Crafters Companion. The stamp and sentiments are a tiny set I got in a local craft store last year. Unfortunately their pricing label covers the brand name so I can’t see it, but could be Stampendous. Anyway I used red and blue to colour the stripes then stamped out the sentiments, fussy cut them and stacked as shown.

Great take on the sketch and color challenge. Who wouldn’t want a cup of hot chocolate after a walk in the wood? Great coloring on your cup and the lacy doily border die fits your theme.

Johanna, this is a great card. I really like how your embossed piece turned out, as well as that fun new border die you have. It really reminds me of a doily, which is what I thought it was at first. Cute image and sentiment, as well. Great job on this.
