Hug in a Cup

 Today starts the  Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Stamp Simply is one of the sponsors. Be sure to stop by their blog for a chance to win a great prize! 

For my card today: I embossed their spring pansies onto a piece of purple card stock and then inked around the edges with distress ink. I also used the gold embossing powder on my die cut heart and around the edges of the sentiment and card panel. I stamped the same pansy image on mixed media paper and used my Arteza Real Brush Pens to color it before die cutting with the java dies.

Dearest Friend

 Today starts the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is one of their awesome sponsors. Be sure to check out their blog for the chance to win a great prize!

For my card today: I randomly stamped and embossed the flowers from Dearest Friend onto pink card stock and inked around the edges and added splatters with saltwater taffy distress ink. You'll notice I edged both the card panel and my sentiment in gold embossing to set it off a little more. The flowers accenting my coffee cup were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.
