Hello, crafty friends, it's time for a new Color Hues Challenge! Dear Stef has chosen Lilac and Mint for our hues so if you're ready for spring, they are the perfect combo!
There's something I'm ready for every morning and its my cup or two of tea to start off the day. To begin my process for this card, I started with the patterned papers I knew that I had in these shades from my Waffle Flower paper pack. The teacup die was in my not-yet-used stack, so it all came together.
I loved keeping it simple and letting the papers and dies do the work. It was fun rummaging in my stash for elements to personalize each teacup.
Please be sure to check out the DT samples, they are fabulous! We feel sure you'll want to play along this time! I hope to see your creation in the gallery.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Cindy, I just love that time after time you choose a wonderful theme for your card that I would never have thought to do! It's such an inspiration. Those cups make for a very pretty card--and an inspirational message, too!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had thought to do something besides flowers. This is wonderful and so creative. I love each cup but my favorite is the top one. There is something special about picking out a favorite cup in the morning to start my day! Too bad we can't share a cup together. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love what you did with each cup! Very creative and pretty. I'd be happy to have any of those cups in my cupboard! These are really lovely spring colors and, yes, I'm ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on starting the day with a cuppa Cindy. There are rumours that tea is going to be in short supply here if the trouble in the Red Sea continues, what will I do?! Such a different take on the new colours, fresh and crisp. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine not starting my day with a cuppa or two, just like you! The nectar of youth! Your card is absolutely so yummy, love the sentiment, love those sweet mugs with the embossed details Cindy. Time for a cuppa here! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteOoh, pretty tea cups, Cindy! Awesome papers that were just right for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty trio of cups. A real life set like this would be welcome in my kitchen; perfect for my morning coffee. A fabulous take on the challenge colours!

What a darling card, Cindy! I love that each cup is unique and yet all the colors tie in so beautifully. Love the texture and jaunty design too! And good for you to find something other than floral for a card, yours is a delight!
ReplyDeleteLoving all 3 teacups Cindy and especially the top one! (Love those die cut flowers on the cup!!) Such a simple card but absolutely perfect, and sometimes those are just the best! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
