Here Comes the Sun - Verve/Winnie & Walter

Hi, Friends.....

I have one last set of coffee-themed cards from my big cardmaking frenzy! As I mentioned, I got going so crazy with these cards that I didn't take time to blog them before I was making more. So I have been trying to catch up with myself these last few days.

I have been super-inspired lately by three different challenges. Check out the links for all the info on entering!!!

1. 2017 Spring Coffee Lovers Hop (ends Mar. 31) TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO LINK UP!!! So hurry!!!

2. Verve Stamps Rise and Shine Challenge (ends Apr. 17)
Julee has this wonderful Rise and Shine digital FREEBIE available for download only through April 17.

3. Winnie & Walter March Color Challenge with Heather H. (ends Apr. 7)

You can see why I got so inspired that I didn't want to stop making cards and get them blogged????!! :)

NOTE: I have grouped many of my cards together so my blog doesn't have an endless stream of cards around the same theme. I am devoting my blog posts to one of the cards in each group and including smaller shots of the others...which I am posting separately on my Flickr account to enter into these challenges.

I used another of Julee Tilman's awesome images from her Rise and Shine digital set to make a beachy look for this card. I can soooooooo use some of this sun. We finally have some here in my part of Idaho today....yes!! 

I again used my go-to Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways and Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die sets to cut the pierced rectangle and scalloped panels and also some sweet sequins that were included as a delightful little extra surprise in my W&W order. So sweet! All coloring was done with my Spectrum Noirs.

Here is another card using the same digi that I will post on Flickr with more info.

I have had soooooooooooooo much fun making bright and cheery coffee-themed cards with this wonderful digi set. Thank you for your lovely comments. I hope your day is sunny and full of happiness.....and coffee (or tea!).
