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!

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!
ReplyDeleteLol, 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!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
