TESC115 – Thanks a Latte!
Happy Friday! Today I’m heading home from Southern California and back to Iowa. As I was booking my flight it sounded like a good idea to save the extra $60 and take an early morning flight, but now that I’ve been here for 5 days and I’m super tired a 4 am wake up call is about the last thing that I want! Note to self: pay the extra $60 next time and fly out once the sun comes up. Yesterday I had a chance to spend some time with my friend Jami which is always fun! She let me have the run of her stamp room to make this card for the sketch challenge. I think it’s fun to see what I create when I’m not in familiar surroundings. I love how this card turned out, but I wouldn’t say it’s my usual style. We’ve been house-sitting for a friend while we were in So Cal and I thought this card (with a Starbucks gift card inside) would be the perfect little thank you for allowing us to stay. I stamped images from Let’s Do Coffee in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I added a little bit of Espresso Dimensional Pearls to the coffee beans, some big silver brads, and popped up the sentiment on foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!
