Celebrating Friendships with a hot cuppa!

craftybit
Hi Everyone!
 
One of my favourite past times with friends is sitting around having a cuppa and chatting. It’s hard to beat face to face interaction with a friend. You can read each other’s body language, laugh out loud and easily get stuck for hours drinking way too much coffee.
 
Sadly, many of my bestest friends live so far away from me that I don’t get the opportunity to sit across the table and laugh over a cuppa so instead I do what I do best and make them cards that will brighten their day.
 
So with that in mind, this month we are inspiring you with some gorgeous images illustrated by Krista Smith and a whole range of new chipboard designs relating to Friends, Coffee & Tea!
Please join us on the hop and be inspired for a chance to win one of two Chipboard sets featuring the new friendship cursive sentiment designs. Simply leave a comment on each blog along the way as I will be picking a winner from two random posts. Winners will be announced and contacted Sunday 25th so get your hopping boots on!
 
 
 
My card today is as clean and simple as they go, I wanted the message to come through as good as possible. This card is supposed to be like a soft hug, like a cup of coffee. I knew I wanted to use the new Coffee Hug Sentiment, so I measured the size and then tried out some arrangements in photoshop (creating a rectangle with that size as a temp to see sizes). I finally decided on using a cropped version of the Coffee & Yarn Digi Stamp.
 
While coloring her skin I realized that I wanted to use her lip color as the color of her shirt and that I loved the softness of it and wanted it to continue through out the card. So I picked out my Distress Paints and colored up the sentiment. To finish the card off I found this cute paper in an old Doodlebug Designs pattern paper stack and then I used a die to cut it to give it a little more interest. Then I put it all on a white cardbase and the card was finished.
 
Here is a list of the blog hop in case you get lost along the way. Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog for 10 chances to win!
