Sue/Perk/Coffeestamper, a friend and wonderful stamper is our Queen this week. Sue, I'm so happy for you and you really deserve this crown. I know Sue is all about coffee and I should do a coffee image but I had colored this image this morning and was wanting to use it..so, no caffeine from me. LOL
I looked through her wonderful gallery and decided to case this (coffee card): COFFEE SHOP BLOG HOP! by coffeestamper at Splitcoaststampers I believe you said this was a photo of you. LOL
I kept the layout but moved my ribbon to bottom of image and popped my sentiment on my different border. Used different image, paper, ribbon, and sentiment.
Using micro beads for first time to have some shimmer and texture. The green rhinestones are
from another good friend, Pam124. Thanks, Pambina!
Sue, have a blast!!!
For Pam: punch-1, die cuts -2
hardly any weight loss....pleeaaazzzzzz

How pretty! I love the image and wonderful colors. Yes, I found the last iron gate corner and border the other day. And Michael's had them on clearance. Can't beat that w/ a stick, lol.

Wow Benzi - this is cute, cute, cute. Why is Pam the only one who cares about your punch total? Don't you think the reset of us Punchkateers care anymore?
Seriously, this is a sweet friendship card/case - perfect for a case of Perk. I love that flower image!

What a gorgeous card, Benzi!!! I love all the pretty greens--I have that Cosmo Cricket pad, too! Your watercoloring is absolutely lovely, and those microbeads look fantastic!! I'll have to try using those sometime. I have some hidden away somewhere--now I'll have to dig them out to give them a try!! This is a super tribute card for our QUEEN!! Wonderful work
