Coffee Take Me Away!

Hello!
This is my second card as guest designer on Freshly Brewed Challenges!
Today I'm sharing this pretty card that I made with the "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs!
The monthly challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges for the month of July is the following recipe! 2 papers - 2 embellishments - 2 shapes
I love this stamped image!  I think that she sends the perfect message to RELAX and ENJOY  YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

As you can see from my pictures, I made a window card with the pretty, "Coffee Take Me Away" stamp on the inside!
I used my Nestabilities large scallop die to cut the window. (I don't own the plain circle nestabilities yet)
Then I used my Marianne die to cut out the pretty Lacy doily circles that I used to frame the image on both the inside and the outside.
I used K&Company designer paper I paper pieced the pretty tea cup bathtub and the towel. Using this rubber stamp made it so fun and easy to do paper piecing!
Paper roses and corner embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts
I used my Stampin Up oval punch and oval scallop punch for my sentiment.
The inside corner triangles were made with my Stampin Up ticket punch.
I colored the image with my copic markers.

Thank you so much for looking!

Pet sympathy card

Hello!
My daughter needed a sympathy card to send to her good friend who's family dog passed away. The sweet little dog was a Shih tzu and my daughter insisted that I needed to make a card with a Shih tzu that looked just like her friends little dog. Our little furry children are such a huge part of our family. I knew that my daughters friend and family were going through a very sad time. So this is the card that I made for them.

Recipe:
Tiddlyinks.com Shih tzu digi stamp
K&Company dp ABRIANNA
Spellbinders Nestabilities Big Scalloped Ovals LG
Certainly Celery ribbon
Lace is from my stash
Pearls are SU
Paper roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts White and Deep Pink
The leaves were made with my new Marianne Die. I love the lacy look of the pretty leaves.
Thank you so much for looking!
