I'm back with a double challenge card

Hi everyone! I am back from break. I went on a long weekend camping trip and when I returned we got a new computer! So, I finally have my internet hooked up and some of my programs transfered over. Man oh man, this process is super hard for the technically challenged! Seriously, I have some major heartburn going on!
But, I took a break and worked on a card -a double challenge card. I have a lot of catching up to do -LOL!

I used this week's Fall To Layout sketch #57 and Dawn's Raspberry Suite color challenge #16. Not too sure on this one, Dawn's colors were Summer Sunrise, Kraft, Cream and Brown. Hummm... I think I can make coffee cups work in just about any color, so I pulled out the new Delightful and Delicious and Bountiful Backgrounds sets. The cups were stamped 2 times, on cream and then again on Summer Sunrise for piecing. I colored the inside of the cups with a copic marker that kinda looked like Kraft (W1). The summer sunrise squares are stamped with the dotted background and embossed in clear. Again, my favorite trick when I don't have the color of ink.

Oh and see that ribbon? It's the lucious Martha Stewart Piped Nylon ribbon found at Big Lots for $1!! I bought tons of colors and styles! Me sooo likey Big Lots!

Card Deets not linked above:
Accessories - square punch, clear embossing powder, silver pearls (Michael's), sponge, paper piercer, white gel pen, circle nesties

    Absolutely love this card and that ribbon. I haven't been to a Big Lots forever but if that's what you're finding there I'm definitely going to give it a go.

    oooh I love this card, the ribbon is my favorite...and now that you said Big Lots I am getting that familiar itch to go see if mine has ANYTHING worth looking at. It hasnt had anything decent for about 9 months now though.

    Hi Michelle,

    I know exactly what you mean about being technically challenged. I turned my laptop on today and NOTHING! I freaked, turned it off eventually, took some deep breaths, waited and tried again - success!

    Love what you've done with this beautiful colour combo. The polka dots are fabulous!

    Regards,
