Thanks a Latte!

I started making this card at my Girls Night and finally finished it last night. I made it for my daycare provider as she is retiring from daycare and moving into another field. I didn't have my Memento ink with me so I wasn't able to color her with my Copics. I then remembered how much I loved my copics. I don't have very many but I do miss the few I have when I can't use them. I was able to fit this card into quite a few challenges one at Stamp Something, one at Tuesday Morning Sketches, one at Raise the Bar, and the last one at Get Sketchy.

Card Formula:

The sketch for this card is from Get Sketchy. When I was flipping through some challenge blogs I found a color challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches (Chocolate Chip, Always Apricot, Very Vanilla). I found the perfect pattern paper to fit this challenge from Bo Bunny's Flutter Butter Collection. I stamped "lattebella" from Stamping Bella on Very Vanilla Cardstock and coloured her with Stampin' Up markers. I mounted her on a light yellowy peach paper as I didn't have any Always Apricot. I added brown photo corners with my EK Success corner punch. The challenge at Raise the Bar was to have something in "3". I wanted to put on 3 brown buttons but couldn't find any I liked so I went with the Kiwi Kiss Corduroy buttons from Stampin' Up. I also didn't have any skinny brown ribbon to tie through the buttons, so I took my white skinny ribbon and coloured it with my Brown Copic. I really love this trick. I created the sentiment on my computer with Adobe Photoshop. I made the letters look embossed and added a small shadow. It is hard to see in the picture. I mounted this on the same light peachy scrap that I had. I added four small brown pearls in the corners

to finish it off and add some balance to that side of the card. I also decorated the inside of the card with my left over scraps. When I was finish I realized that my card fit into the recipe challenge at Stamp Something (designer paper, ribbon & buttons).

ENJOY!!
