Relaxing with a coffee

Hello lovely people,

Happy weekend to you all!
I am not planning on leaving the house all weekend; as far as I'm concerned it's a good weekend for crafting, watching a film or two, and plenty of coffee!

Today I have a project to share with some gorgeous goodies from The Ribbon Girl because our new 'Use any image' challenge is starting.
As usual, there are 3 fabulous prizes up for grabs so do check out all the details on The Ribbon Girl blog.

Now, talking of coffee...

I have used pink for this image twice now, so thought it was time for a change, so here is Jasmine in blue!
Ok, I still snuck in a little pink for the mug - lol!

The corrugated card is back again, but for this card I actually peeled the back layer off to make it less bulky and rigid.

For the large flower I pulled the stamens out of a cherry blossom and added the pearl and diamante flatback instead, which I think gives a lovely touch of glamour.

I hope you are all staying warm and cosy this weekend and having fun whatever you are up to :-)

    A really pretty card in blue Kat. I love the image, and your colouring is fabulous. Hope you've managed to source more corrugated card as it
    makes a super addition to your cards.

    Gorgeous card Kat. The diamante in the middle of the flower is a nice touch. Your colouring, as always, is fab.

    Bit of a sore subject as my hubby has just knocked over the lovely latte that I just made for myself to have with a sneaky chocolate chip cookie, and when I went to grab some kitchen paper to mop it up with, I came back to find my cat sat on my chair with his paws on the table licking the chocolate off my soggy cookie. So I lost both my latte and my cookie! ARGH. But, I still love your card (it's what I'd hoped to be doing myself!) and your layout is so pretty. Gorgeous hun. xx

    A very special card Kat. I love your signature colour selection of blue and kraft, works so beautifully together. So pretty and feminine.
