My first card uses Delightful and Delicious. I saw this cutie card by Latisha and had to CASE it using the coffee cups, some Decorative Tape by American Crafts and a green resin blossom from Maya Road. Isn't this fun? I just love how the cups dangle and the sentiment is too perfect. This was a very quick little card to make.
Next up, how about a little TEA? This card is so opposite from the first! Lots of layers, trims and embellies going on here. This actually started out using the Viva La Verve March sketch #1, but I couldn't get the top right embellishment to work. I used the gorgeous teapot image and sentiment from A Cup of Life. No coloring here, I paper pieced the teapot with yellow and green pattern papers. The papers are from Echo Park, the For the Record collection. I even managed to use some of my new stick pins! Yeah, guess who's order of goodies arrived over the weekend? lol!
