Have A Great Day

Hello my crafty friends!  I was going to post this card on one of the Wednesday giveaways but I thought I had offered quite a few of the coffee cards already.  I'll dig around and come up with something else for you this week.  I decided to go with repetition for today's card.  Four stamped coffee cups (or tea cups if you like) from Justrite all coloured differently in pastel tones.  I used Distress markers to do the colouring (Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass, Wild Honey, Milled Lavender).  I used a blue pencil around each of the cups as a shadow and then cut them into squares and matted them with a thin black mat.  I embossed a piece of coconut white card using the Illusion embossing folder and attached each of my four cups with mounting foam.  Using the Vintage Floret die, I made small flowers for each of the cups and highlighted them with the same distress ink that I coloured them in.  I glued them in place over the rose that is part of the stamp image.  I tied a messy bow out of white seam binding and added it to the bottom corner of the card.  I tucked a stamped sentiment under the pearl embellishment that I used for the centre of the bow.  The card was finished with a double white mat with a pierced inner layer.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
