Blended or Sprayed Backgrounds

Just us Girls was sweet enough to give me a shout out last week!!!

Thanks Ladies!!!

I checked back at the current challenge, and loved the theme.

I need a few more "everyday" cards. I found I have a ton of thank you cards, and very few all around "anytime" cards.

I like to send cards all the time!

Perfect chance to use the "NEW" dies I haven't gotten around to using. The Concord & 9th Everyday Sayings dies...

They wonderfully BIG and BOLD!!

I have used the Ellen Hutson Mod Floral die quite a bit- I JUST LOVE IT... And will never tire of inking, sponging or painting it in soft watercolors.

Mocha-licious Frothy Goodness!

Another entry for the NEWEST fun card challenge - The Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!

Mocha-licious Frothy Goodness!

I spied with my little eye, over on Just Me: C - Carol's lovely blog,(See her card here) the sweetest card made with the cover the card latte die from My Creative Time. I loved her card so much.. Of course I rushed over and bought the die.

Carol is a fluent and very artistic & creative card maker - you would be so blessed to see all of her lovely creations!

I had this card design in mind. A lavender flight of fancy of Santa's midnight sleigh ride.

Supplies:

Distress Oxide Wilted Violet - Ellen Hutson

Tim Holtz Limited Edition Dash Away All Die

My Creative Time Latte Cover Card Die -My Creative Time

Serene Snowflakes Dies - Frantic Stamper

Double Trouble Papercrafting with Thing 1 and Thing 2

Keep it Cozy and layer it up!

"For Cuddle-Up Day, let's think cozy and warm and Layer Up! You MUST use at least one die, punch, or machine cut and include at least two or more layers on your project. Bring on your card layering techniques and Layer Up."

In Summary: 1. Create at least two or more layers. 2. Use at least one die.

For my card layers: I used 2 layers as well as the image cup layer. For Dies: I used the latter cover a card die, and Dash Away All Die, as well as the word die for the Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas dies.

I cozy up in a plush and comfy "blankie" and with a cup of coffee, cocoa or hot mocha's at home curled up on the couch!
