Hello, friends! Sorry for the late post today -- it's been a busy day! I spent most of it in the car, driving my son and three other high school sophomores to their team soccer camp 35 minutes from our home. Then, as soon as I dropped him back in our driveway, I was off to a hair appointment 15 minutes in the other direction! I went through $40 worth of gas today!
I have realized lately, since I'm increasingly at a loss for time, that I've been combining challenges to get my creativity flowing! Today I combined three challenges: Our Creative Corner sketch challenge, the SCS color challenge, and the Flourishes Coffee Time challenge. All three came together perfectly to create this card. And, as a bonus, the colors in my beloved Stella Ruby paper were perfect for the color challenge!
This was a very simple card to make. This set, Coffee With a Friend, is part of Flourishes' Stamp Simply line. I just stamped the image and paper pieced the mug and saucer. For the sentiment, I inked only the word "Coffee" and omitted the rest of the sentiment. The banana layer is embossed with the Cuttlebug and Textile Texture folder. I added a lot of sponging, some Vintage Brads, and some gorgeous scalloped satin ribbon. That's it!
I can't end this post without saying a big HELLO to all the girls who were at the C.C. Designs release party last night! **waving** It was so much fun, and it was great to see some new faces! :) The new sets and the Sweet Treats Card Kit are available NOW at All That Scraps.
Tomorrow I'll have the ATS Wednesday Challenge to share with you, so I hope you'll stop back! Thanks for coming by today -- I really appreciate it! :)
