Sip by Sip

My card today for my daughters birthday measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. A little bigger than I normally make but I wanted to add a little bit more to it.

I bought this particular stamp set for her, she loves her coffee, unlike me who doesn't drink it at all. I used another from this set a couple years ago for her birthday. She is going through her finals at Yale getting her Doctorate degree and is under a lot of pressure so I liked this sentiment to go with the image, perfect timing.


I liked the roses in this paper set to go with the cups but couldn't find a good match with my marker colors.


Power Poppy - Short Stacks stamp set, image and sentiment, colored w/markers
Our Daily Bread Designs - Shabby Rose Collection paper
Spellbinders - Classic Oval and A2 curved borders one dies
Diamond Dazzlers gems

It is warming up and we have sunshine, oh how that always lifts me up :)
Hope you are enjoying a good week where you are,
Thanks so much for taking out the time to stop by, I know how busy everyone is getting,

Connie

I love this set and it looks beautiful in the die, which you cut in such a beautiful color. Very feminine with your paper choices and design. Your daughter will appreciate it. She surely must be under a lot of pressure!
