Well, I have finally come to the end of my Guest Diva cards. Appropriately, I am typing up this post while enjoying a Grande Non-Fat Decaf Latte from Starbucks :) Loooove lattes and this fabulous Better With You set by Verve is a perfect set for creating and sending any coffee or tea lover you know a card. It is full of wonderful coffee and tea images and has great coordinating sentiments.
I created the background by stamping the Java image multiple times and embossing it with clear EP so it was a bit more prominent. Then I had fun distressing the edges and using some fun Stella Rose DPs and half pearls to finish things off.
It's hard to believe we are into the last week of summer! This summer just flew by and we have many wonderful memories to reminisce about for years to come - what more can you ask for :) Hope your summer was just as enjoyable and you are able to squeeze in one last summer BBQ or quick get away before the Labour Day weekend is over.

That background is perfect and your distressing is divine. I love the ribbon and the fabulous use of the half pearls!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, mmm! I'd love me a cuppa joe right now, however, I can stare at your sweet creation and be just as satisfied! (Without the calories or caffeine high!...well, maybe I WANT those things... :)
ReplyDeleteLove the distressing around the edges, so NOT you, but I LOVE it... a slight departure from your usual, delightful clean style...it works really well on this card!
