In this current heat wave we're going through in our part of the world, it's difficult to think of warm beverages, but I wanted to play along with the Just Us Girls Challenge #550 which uses this photo for inspiration:
I used a set of Penny Black dies to create the cup, tag, heart, and steam coming from the cup and used random bits of watercolor paper done with Nuvo shimmer powder. I added a little glitter glue to the steam for some sparkle. There's no red in the inspiration photo, but for some reason I was just drawn to add the red color along with a piece of red and blue dsp for the background. I used Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies, along with a MFT fishtail flag banner die set for the white heat-embossed sentiment panel and called this one done.
Thanks for the visit, and I hope you're having a good day!

Love, love, love! This is so pretty, Carol! I agree with you on the hot drinks since it's scorching hot out but I still have my cup of coffee every morning! LOL I love your cup and tea bag! The red cardstock just pops here and also goes nicely with the red in your patterned paper! Awesome job on the challenge! TFS and stay cool! I'm so sick of this heat! Blah!!!
What a fun layered card! I love the texture on the cup. Nicely done and thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls this week.
Yum, I love the warm country feel to this....the textures and diecuts are wonderful!
Love the cup and steam dies and great watercolour background-no matter what the weather I can still drink coffee or tea lol

This is so nice and cosy looking and is just perfect for starting a day. I love the colour combination, reminds me of Christmas and who doesn't love a cool inky background :) x
Oh wow I love your awesome cup die with the little tea tag and steam included! the background is perfect for it too! Really love these type of cards as they always bring comfy feelings which is what this one does looking at it! Thanks for sharing your inspiration friend!
Beautiful coffee card design with wonderful colors.
Lovely card! Even with this awful HOT weather we have been having...
I still need to have my WARM beverage. (I don't like iced Coffee! Smile)

Love this. Your watercolour, use of shimmer and the papers all looks stunning...cuppa
English Breakfast tea for me. xxx
Boy isn't that the truth?! We had those couple of nice days and now are back to the 3 H's. Fall is coming! Right?!! lol I love your card and I do have a little hot beverage when the AC is feeling cold to me. Of course all one has to do it walk outside and you will heat up right away. lol I love the paper you used on this card, loving the smooshed inky background your cup is sitting on too. But it is the cupa cupa that is stealing the show! What a great little die! Love the tea bag hanging out of the cup. So cute and the sentiment is perfect. Hugs, Brenda
Awesome card Carol! I like all your layers, dimension, cup, steam and that fabulous blue layer!
I love the colors you used on this great card. Love the added watercoloring too. Thanks for playing along at Just Us Girls.
I totally agree!! I just can't drink hot tea in the summer heat. I'm ready for some cooler temps and hot tea with French Vanilla creamer!! Your card is adorable. That touch of red really make it pop.
Lovely card. I'll join you for a cuppa!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
I think the red has been a great choice to make the blue air and the cup pop out! The little tag/teabag is just adorable, as well the hot curly steam! Great design, well done!!
Hugs
