This is my first sample for CC567. I am your hostess this week and I chose strawberry slush, mint macaron and early espresso for my color trio. Dessert this week is to make a Valentine using these non-traditional colors.
I went with the Valentine option and I am using some new to me dies and stamps I just purchased from Taylored Expressions. My background hearts are cut in mint macaron and I used the blooming hearts cutting plate. I popped out the macaron hearts and added strawberry slush hearts. This is layered over early espresso cardstock.
My cute images are from the "pizza my heart" set and matching dies. I did some paper piecing on the images. The sentiment is from the "we go together" set and I stamped in early espresso ink. Layered onto very vanilla and then early espresso for some contrast.
Hope you can play along with us this week. It's a chance to get some Valentine cards made using different colors. Check out the other DT samples, you will be wowed!!

I don't know which I like better, Mary, the cute coffee cup and donut (and sentiment) or the clever background you've created. But put them together, and you've created a wonderful card!
