Thanks a Latte

Here’s my card for this week’s Kraftin’ Kimmie challenge to use spring colors. I used some older SU! designer papers with soft pastel colors and a floral pattern along with the sketch from this week’s Cute Card Thursday challenge for the card.

I used Angie, one of the new Moonlight Whispers images, for my card. She’s colored with Copic markers to match the card’s pink and yellow color scheme. I added a little pink flock along the edges and cuffs of her robe for texture--and fun, too!

To fit the tall image, I stretched the sketch out a bit while still keeping all of the basic elements intact. I machine stitched around the pink dotted panel before attaching it to the soft yellow card base. A strip of yellow paper with a pink and yellow floral pattern runs down the length of the card. A pale pink circle peeks out from underneath the strip as an accent. I matted the colored image on a pale yellow panel, then attached it to the cardfront. The set’s "thanks a latte" sentiment is stamped alongside the image. I added a rose ribbon tab anchored with a baker's twine tied up button to the image panel as a simple accent.
