All occasion card featuring a stack of coffe cups with little ribbon flags on a wordy brown background

For this card I laser printed on white cardstock a digital from Beyond the Fringe Crafts - this beautiful stack of coffee cups!!  I used a tiny brush and watercolour to paint all the cups.  They all have such character that bright colours work really well with them.  For some continuity I painted all the handles brown along with the saucer at the bottom. I added a bit of a shadow as well.  I layered it onto a rectangle of red cardstock once it was dry and added some bright ribbon flags on the left hand side.  I created a dark brown card, added this fun wordy flash card background then adhered my focal element over it using 3D foam tape.  Love it!!        Therese
 

SISTER STASH - Christmas card featuring fun tree paper, a wonky little font greeting and a layered die cut tree

This card started with a large red card to which I added a full background of this fun Chirstmas tree paper.  I found this green tree die cut in my stash and added a red triangle in behind which nicely filled in the openings and finished it off with a little yellow star punchie.  I added a strip of green cardstock across the card just above the middle which I textured with my pattern tracing wheel.  I added my little tree over the strip using 3D foam tape.  I found this fun font Merry Christmas in my stash which had been trimmed a little awry so I trimmed it again giving it a wonky look.  Next,  treated three sides with a row of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel, tucked the left hand side behind the tree and adhered it into place.  I really love this fun paper.  Very versatile in regards to finding  coordinating colours.   Therese
