Card Challenge Monday: Merry Cafe - Just add Ink Challenge #374

Oh my, I have been absent for a bit.  Getting my three teenagers back in school was a bigger challenge than I anticipated these last couple of weeks.  Several schedule changes and multiple teacher meetings for a while I thought I worked at the school.  Today I have a sweet card to share with you using the Merry Café stamp set that will be available on 1 September.

 
Card Measurements:
Garden Green Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Cherry Cobbler Layer 5 3/8 x  4 1/8
 Whisper White Embossed Layer  5 1/4 x  4
Be Merry DSP Accent 1 1/2 x 4
 



TIP:  Sponged the outer edges of the Whisper White lid and sentiment with Crumb Cake to made it stand out against the white embossed background.  A subtle touch, but it works.

 
I am featuring this card in the Just Add Ink blog weekly challenge #374.  Participating in weekly challenges are  great way to expand your creativity and share your creations with others.

  4. This is fabulous Cathy! I love your sponging touch to the lid and how you've carried the red and green layers of colour through to your sentiment too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.

  5. Do you mind sharing the secret of how you got the three color sentiment on the 'sleeve' of the coffee cup?
