well hello there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog, and it's all about that coffee, tea and treats! who can complain? LOL

I used the mice images from the Bubbles of Joy and Virtual Friends stamp sets. those mice are so cute and playful!
then I stamped the to go coffee cups from Love You a Latte and colored all of the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  once everything was dry, I used the coordinating die cuts to die cut everything out! so easy!

next, I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina to ink ink blend the background. I actually resisted splattered on it! I know - a miracle! lol! instead, I used the Snowflake Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add the winter-y texture! once that was dry, I was able to start my scene!

I placed the coffee cups in a nod to rainbow order, and then scattered the playful, silly mice all around the cups. the whispy, steamy sentiment from Love You a Latte was heat embossed in white directly onto the background. then I placed another sentiment from Ho-Ho-Holidays on the bottom of the scene, which was heat embossed in white onto strips of cardstock.


hope this card made you smile!
be sure to play along with the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge - enjoy!
