It's Friday so I want to share a card that was a nice card to begin with but is even better when I "kicked it up" a little.
I used my SU stampin' around to stamp the dotted BG and then embossed the blue panel with a cuttlebug embossing folder. My friend Julie Campbell stamped these images for me. That's always a fun challenge to come up with a card design from images all ready stamped on paper that is all ready cut. I colored the images with my watercolor crayons and assembled as shown. This is a card that anyone could be proud to mail to a friend.
I didn't do much to "kick it up" but I think it makes a nice addition! I turned the coffee cups a little angled. This makes the card a little more interesting. I also popped all the images up on pop dots. Then I used scallop scissors on the white strip and added brads. Just a few simple additions to take a card to WOW!
Stamps: MFT, SU!
Paper: Brocade Blue, Chocolate, White
Ink: Black
Accessories: water color crayons, brads, scallop scissors, pop dots

Love the cards and the colors are perfect together.
I love both of the cards, but that decorative edge on the strip and brads just make such a huge difference.
