This card is for a challenge that I've not played in before ... though I know you've all heard about:
... here is there fabulous inspiration for cards of encouragement this month for CAS11:
I've used the photo for my inspiration, and shades of those colors that I have in my stash ... those darling CAS-ual Fridays products that were my gift from Michele for playing cards with Nora in February just had to come out to play.
Inside:
"... I like sweet blooms, too!
But, truly, you're so great...
I love them less than YOU!"
I love my embossing folders ... this one added such a wonderful texture to my mustard-yellow mug - oh that mug? of course I had to enbiggen it! Now did you notice that little flutter-by? I save everything! it is made from the snippets leftover when you cut the mug... can you find it? Can you also see that I've corrected the placement of the stems? Ha! One cannot take life too seriously!

Supplies:
CASual Friday's Hot Coffee stamp set, and Coffee Cup Fri-Dies
MFT Die-namics Stitched Strip
E.H. Altenew Poppy Fields
Distress Oxide inks: Peeled Paint, Candied Apple, Fossilized Amber, and Wild Honey.
Sizzix embossing folder ... sorry no name!

Heehee, that sentiment gave me a giggle! It reminded me of a Friend's episode. I love your embossed enbiggened mug, it's so pretty. You nailed this inspiration photo with this awesome card!
I am over the moon to see you at Calling All Sistahs! Your card is fab, love the embossing folder for the pattern on the mug and yes I saw the little butterfly! Stunning flowers and love the glitter. Have a fab hols and hope you will be back to play with us again on the 18th April......you know me.....you can’t escape me now!,
What a lovely card Michele and that inside sentiment is fab! I'm telling you girl, you need to start making these into stamps. Have fun on your vacation!! Send some sunshine and warm weather in my direction. ;0)
Enjoy your spring getaway! You will be missed, but hope you have a terrific time. Your card here is fantastic. You are so delightfully clever and creative. Love the embossed mug and the lovely flutter-by that looks to be punched from the lovely handle. So many fun design elements makes this an absolute delight! Hugs!
Lol, I wondered about those stems. Wonderful card makes me think of summer and bringing in to mom flowers pulled from the yard...and that they'd always go in a mug or glass. Have a fab vacay!
Oh, Michele, I LOve the dry embossed mustard-yellow mug! You matched the colors of enamel dots with the flowers too! I've got where the flutter-by came from and the change of the placement of the stems. Fabulous take on the inspiration photo!
Have a great vacation, my friend!

Your embossed mug of flowers is fabulous! And I did notice you fixed the stems! You have so many wonderful details in your cards!
This is so gorgeous, Michele! That embossed cup is just the most precious thing! I should take the cue from you and use my embossing folders a little more.. And I did so love that cute butterfly, and those gorgeous poppies! Absolutely love it! :)
