This is my card for the MMTPT335 challenge "Auld Lang Syne" - to make a card that shows friends, sharing coffee, running about the slopes, picking flowers, paddling in a stream, the hand of friendship. This is a Tickle a Teapotter week, we will be sending our cards to each other!
This really doesn't need any description - no fancy techniques or anything, just die cuts and simple stamping, a little embossing, a touch of Wink of Stella on the steam and Glossy Accents on the hearts. I hope the recipient likes green, I seem to have gotten carried away with it
As always, thanks for looking!

When I see green, I always think green and growing...like the best of friendships...tiny seeds taking root, growing over the season, pruning dead wood, how blessed to have a friend(s) that nurture you in those ways...I saw all that with your card, Jody! Can you tell...love it! And so will the Teapotter it's meant for. I especially like how you layered the hues.

I see everyone is lining up , loving the GREEN! Of course, it is my favorite too!! The coffee cups with the hearts are the perfect way to convey a beautiful friendship - sharing LOTS of things besides coffee or tea - hopes, dreams, interests, family - the list is endless!! Love how you worked several different shades of green and patterns - makes for a GREAT card!!

Jody, your flair for design is what makes this card so special, capturing the hearts of two friends over coffee! The wonderful color green, gone from Ohio for months is so refreshing. Your card is wonderful! I echo the sentiments of the other comments before me!

These are 2 neat cups of java and friendship. I like what ONE4Joy said about green being like growing friendships. Wish we could actually all get together for one real big cup of tea, but sixths is a great start...TFS..:0)
