Feeling kind of puny today…think I'm coming down with a cold…throat is scratchy and I'm very tired. Tried to take a nap this afternoon, but hubby came home early from work!
Selene created a very simple sketch for this week's Stamping 411 sketch challenge SSC162. When I saw the trio of images for the front, I immediately thought of the coffee cup in Stampin' Up!'s new Morning Cup stamp set (plus it was sitting out on my desk from Club night!)
Here's my intrepretation:
When I'm trying to decide on a color scheme, sometimes I try to go with colors I haven't used in a while. I know I've been using a lot of reds, yellows, blues and greens…my pinks have been neglected! So I pulled out the base of Pretty in Pink cardstock. I layered on Regal Rose and ran it thru my Big Shot with the Petals A Plenty Impressions Folder for some texture. I stamped the trio of Coffee Cups from Morning Cup in Basic Black on Very Vanilla cardstock, then watercolored with Stampin' Write Markers and the AquaPainter. I decided the bottom looked a little plain, so added a Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon bow. I also added some bling with the Rhinestone Jewels in the center of each heart on the cups.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Make sure to check out what the other Stamping 411 Operators did with the sketch this week!

Oh Connie,
