Hello!
I'm finally back! Sorry it took me so long. I had to recover from the holidays and all the daily posts I did. giggle That took a lot but I'm glad I did it. But, now January is a new month and I need to get on the ball.
Today is the 5th and is the day for a great challenge. I started a blog group over on SCS. These ladies are spectacular! We are from all walks of life but with one common interest...crafting. We have monthly challenges that will be posted to our blogs the 5th of each month. This month our hostess is Heather. Here's her blog. She has a great style. She is also expecting her first child and so her challenge to us went somewhat along with her blessing. :)
Theme: Newness
Create with something new to you. Also, try a new technique, something you've never done before.
So, with my card I used a new stamp set that I haven't had a chance to ink up yet! The vendor is Inkadinkado. This set has the most precious tea/coffee cups ever. I love it. The new to me technique is 2 fold. 1 ~ I don't recall making a "window" on my card (nesties) or 2 ~ I don't remember putting a full layer on my card with pop dots (I may have done the second one some time, I just don't remember doing it).
For my "coffee" I colored the image with a pencil and added the stem.
The ribbon is tempting turquoise along with the ink color.
For my sentiment I cut a punched piece of card stock in half (SU! curly label punch) and the stamp is from SU! Petite Pairs.
I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog today. Be sure and check out all the other Crafty Gals blogs in my right sidebar to see what they created with Heather's great challenge!
Until next time...
Blessings...
