Rainbow cups

I'm posting another card for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blogshop. I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #228, but I flipped it. I used Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies from My Creative Time. The paper is from Maja Designs Vintage Spring Basics. The coffee cup stack is from Stamplorations Coffee Happy set, the sentiment is from Skipping Stones Designs Fun Coffee Vol.#1.
The flower sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh Lilac Garden Flower Sequins.

Foxy Issues

Here's another quick post for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blogshop.
The paper is from Basic Grey Hillside collection. The little Fox was a 3 x 4 card that I got as a thank you from ordering from the Paper Issues Store. I just cut it down to fit with the corrugated coffee covering that covers our cups at work.  I used the Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Circle dies to cut out the image from the coffee cup. A few Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for a bit of bling. I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink to add a bit of color to the edges of my pieces.

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop-Spring Plaid

Just a quick post for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I had no problem picking the paper from the MFT Stamps Subtle Plaid Paper pack. I used stamps and dies from My Creative Time: All You Need is Coffee set and Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies. The outer frame is from Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Circle Dies and the Clear Droplets are also from Pretty Pink Posh. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Dogwoods

I saw This Hero Arts/Sizzix Framelits set and had to get it. My mom was enamored with Dogwood trees. We had a white Dogwood tree in our backyard and she guarded that tree like the Crown Jewels!
Unfortunately, she had already passed away before I got to use this set, so it got filed away and forgotten. My aunt (mom's youngest sister) turned 75 years old this past week, so I dug this set out to give it a try. I had several visions of what I wanted to try, but I finally went with coloring with Copics on (the back of) vellum. I had seen this done quite a few times, but had never tried it myself. I like the softness of it. I was going back and forth with whether or not to put the white card stock behind the image, but decided to put it behind the vellum so the image wouldn't get lost.
I used the Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped Frame Dies. I meant to use some Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets, but forgot to add them (late at night) and by the time I realized, I had to get this packaged up and mailed so it is bling-less!
