Curtain Call Flip Flops: hello, sweet friend.






Post 2 of 2 for today...click HERE for the Verve Stamps Blog Hop!



It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge




The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Such a super fun inspiration photo, don't you think?!  It's been unusually warm here in the Pacific Northwest so we've been enjoying the sunshine.  Personally I'm a happy camper when it's 70 degrees..any warmer and I start to get cranky :)

Are you surprised to see another coffee card?  Well, I guess it is technically Bubble Tea:  Most bubble tea recipes contain a tea base mixed/shaken with fruit or milk, to which chewy tapioca balls and/or fruit jellies are often added. (source)


Truthfully, I've never had Bubble Tea...I'm generally 'sensitive' to bumpy foods...LOL.  Those 'tapioca balls' creep me out.  I've been told (repeatedly by my girl) that I can have them make the Bubble Tea without the 'lumps'....but I assure you, I get enough sweets and caffeine in other forms.  That being said, I couldn't help but pick up the Awesomely Cute stamp set by Evalicious:



I did a ton of watercoloring on this card and used Ranger Archival Black ink.  The panels were cut with

Adorable card Amy! I too would struggle with the bumpy foods! I haven't tried bubble tea but love me some southern sweet ice tea on a really hot day!
I just love your out of the box thinking on this one. Your water coloring is wonderful as are the bubble tea hearts. I had bubble tea once. One and done. I hated it!!! lol.
Oh so cute and what a fun stamp set
