Perk You Up

Just Us Girls is back with a Color Week Challenge #620: Teal, orange and dark brown! Warm colors if you are in a cold winter location!! I recently bought this coffee set and was anxious to use it.






Products I used:

Honey Bee Stamps: Coffee Break

My Favorite Things: Perk Up

Stampin' Up!: patterned paper, brads, and punch 

Gina K: Charcoal Brown premium dye ink

Prismacolor pencils

foam tape

SugarPea Designs: SugarCut Card Front Element Builder dies

I decided to make a side fold horizontal card and a different shaped opening so I used my card front dies to cut both the front of the card as well as the patterned paper inside. Next I stamped and colored my image, then cut it out by hand. I chose a sentiment from my stash and used a Stampin' Up! punch that I affectionately call the bandaid punch for its shape. I found some colored brads in the perfect colors and added them to finish off the card.

We hope you will join us this week with our color challenge...it makes it easy to use any stamps or dies you own! See you back here soon!

Somehow you got into my coffee pods to sit beside your gorgoues coffee infused card. Love how you used the bright colours to perfection and such a sweet image.
