Welcome new hostess, Silvia! You have issued a fun challenge for your first one...I have answered the call! Let me know how I did. I have to slide this one into the Crafty Secrets Tuesday challenge that Lori Lynn issued on friendships this week, also! And as an aside, thank goodness for photoshop...I had my card all ready to go and noticed an ink blot on my sentiment frame...no amount of magic rub would correct it...
My card base is SU ballet blue. I used a piece of BG offbeat orange and white paper for my room wallpaper. The lady is Crafty Secrets inked with Memento rich cocoa on Neenah paper. I paper pieced her day dress with an orange from BG mellow (last year). The Memento Paris Dusk table (Stamp Francisco) is lightly embossed and two cups of kaffe are from See-D's using the cocoa ink also. I added a piece of old lace seam binding and thought of Schirmcat's work. The ornate frame is a Purple Onion Designs unmounted that was inked with TH di walnut stain on PTI vintage cream cs. I used a piece of River City Rubber trim for moulding at the base of my card.
I love the theme of friends and coffee...my dearest GF and I have a friendly ribbing going on as I love foam on my cappuccinos...the higher over the top of the cup the better! Now this works like a dream with my DH as he likes no foam, but my friend always notices when I short her the frothy stuff! I'm sending this off to her today, just a little note to remind her...I'll make you a latte...but don't ask for my foam!
Thanks so much for having a peek and I very much appreciate your witty comments! Have a great weekend everyone!
