I stopped my search for the pressure washer long enough, or so I thought, to get a coffee. The next thing I know, I'm at my desk, frantically digging through the mess for a brown paper bag that I thought I saw yesterday. Found it!
The bag is the perfect size to attach a gift card to the tag! I rubbed VersaMark ink along the edges of the bag and added white embossing powder. The coffee cup and the beans are from JR's Coffee Cup cling set. I painted the gold on with Perfect Pearls. Oooh, Shiny!! The doily is cut using Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs The b'ground is JR's Sweet Lace background stamp, heat embossed in white.
I cut the card base with a Spellbinders Edgeabilities die. It's the perfect fit for one of the pretty border stamps in JustRite's Doilies and Lace set. I liked the border so much, I stamped and heat embossed it on the inside and on the back.
Here's the tag, I cut it out of patterned paper and stamped it with the sentiment from JustRite's Coffee Cup set. I actually used for the first time ever, a TH stamp that I thought I would never have a use for. I don't even know where I got it, I sure as heck didn't buy it! The darn thing is perfect for the JR Coffee Cup set, so I added it to my tag.
In case you are wondering, the Brittany on the back of my card is there because I put it on the back of all my cards. I have owned and loved Brittanys for over 25 years, so it's my signature stamp.
So now, my card is done, my coffee is cold, and I still have to find the pressure washer!

ReplyDeleteWHOA -- another BEAUTY -- TWO in one day, Shona!!! I'm impressed and if I'm looking at this right, your TH stamp is the 'coffee cup rings' at the bottom of your tag -- like the ones I often leave on my counter??? Anyway, this is just exquisite and very clever and I LOVE it!!! ;-)
