Which One?

It's the first day of my spring break and already I have my days and nights mixed up. That didn't take long! I guess that being out late last night at the basketball games, combined with being woken early today to reschedule a service call on my sliding glass door and taking a nap late this afternoon, will do that. So, here I am, at almost midnight, finishing a trio of cards for today's SCS limited supply challenge. I had some requests for a few generic "thinking of you" cards, so that was the inspiration for these cards.

I used just 4 stamps from the retired Like it a Latte stamp set, along with one piece of 2 sided designer paper from the Berry Bliss package and two colors of cardstock. From these supplies, I created 3 completely different cards. For all of them, I inked the mug stamp in Pretty in Pink ink, then colored the outline with a Chocolate Chip marker to get the two-toned image. I used Basic Gray ink, stamped off once, for the steam. The mug is stamped on white cardstock and embellished with a heart image covered with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

Each card is embellished with a scrap of ribbon from my overflowing ribbon jar. I also used a white Prima flower on each card. I used a tiny glue dot to attach a plastic dome floral embellishment to the center of each flower.

Two of the cards use a fancy fold to set them apart. One is a kickstand card. The other is a "joy fold" card, oriented vertically. This is a pain to take a picture of! I had to use non-permanent adhesive to keep it closed so I could photograph it. The sentiment is found on the inside panel in this one.

For the challenge, you're supposed to ask which one people like the most. I think I like the joy fold card the most. Let me know what you think.
