my cup of tea.

on



So, I was on a mission on Friday to use some of my new PTI goodies.  I tend to scour the web for inspiration and came across this gorgeous card by 
Melissa Phillips << --- love her stuff.

Can I tell you that I ♥♥♥ the Phrase Play stamp/die?!
{although it really should have 'cup of coffee' too}


The paper is Basic Grey/Fresh Cut (ala Kimberly) and the bloom? It's from the Fresh Cut collection also (ala Sherry).


I hope that my original inspiration didn't get lost in translation....

Case Study


I was inspired by the die cut/sentiment and blooms.  I also tried to capture the overall color scheme along with incorporating the green gingham.

Oh Amy to say I love this would be an understatement! I am kicking myself for not picking that up from PTI last month.

I love this, Amy! You were one of the lucky ones to get this die before it sold out. I was a day late. :( Hope it comes back in stock soon. Very pretty take on the CASE study card.
