You Are In My Prayers-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

Happy March! This month Deb and I are playing with a sketch. I love patterned papers and layers, so sketches are always a lot of fun for me, but I admit this one challenged me. I chose to do a mirror image of the focal panel on my card. I started by embossing some basic black cardstock using Simon Says Stamps Dotted Diamond 3D embossing folder and layering that onto my card base. I created the background by using patterned paper from Crate Paper's Pretty Party 6x paper pad. My focal panel was created by using stitched square dies from My Favorite Things sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas Simply Stacked Sentiments, Echo Park's Wintertime Braches Die set and more of the patterned paper, and some old black brads I had in my stash from forever ago. I opted to not create a bow on my card because I find it difficult to mail cards with twine or ribbon on them. 

For my coffee this month, I opted for a lovely caramel coconut shaken latte from my local Ziggi's. It was delicious! Now, be sure to head over to Debra's blog and see what fun she created this month with our sketch!
