Really you do! Do you guys have a friend(s) that no matter what's going on in your life they some how perk you up? I hope so! Because everyone needs that now & then. And wouldn't you know it, that person for me is the same person that bought me this stamp. Thanks Michele!!
Today's card features Perk me up Peeps by Stamping Bella. Aren't they just the cutest pair of friends? I just *love* their hair. Soooooo adorable.
I had no idea what I was going to do when I set out to make this card. I just knew I had to ink up this image and get these friends colored ASAP. I really liked the red & blue color combo that the bottom peep was sporting so I dug through my paper stash and pulled out this paper from My Mind's Eye Love Me Do collection. I love it when I use stuff I already have! It almost makes me feel less guilty for all the new stuff I keep aquiring.
As you can see I paper pieced the coffee cup with the same dotted paper. I love this cup. If I saw it in a store I'd definitely buy it. I stamped the sentiment, which is included with the image, onto cardstock that I cut out using one of my new C.C. Cutters - banner tag dies. I then topped it off with a heart shape, using my heart trio die from TCP, with a button and twine bow.
This card is dedicated to you, Michele, for all our talks over coffee. Thanks for always knowing the right thing to say! {{{hugs}}}
Hope today's peek "perked" you up a little!
You perk me up:
