Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (day 4) and a GIVEAWAY!

2 Mar

SpringCoffeeLoversBH-011-300x180

Okay, now I’m determined…I will get a card done each day for the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! 😉

Today I decided to go more for the spring side of the theme with some pretty pastel watercoloring!  I used a great new background stamp from Hero Arts and heat-embossed it with clear powder.  Then I watercolored it with distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, and just a little Squeezed Lemonade!  I really wanted to use the ‘need to venti’ sentiment from the My Favorite Things Perk Up stamp set so I decided to look for a crazed looking animal in my stamp collection and I think this little sheep is perfect!  Plus, nothing says spring like a cute, little lamb!  To complete the look I gave him googly eyes! 😉

Hope you’ll join in the fun over at the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, it runs through March 6th!!  And lots of thanks to Amy and for putting this all together!

You can see my previous cards here, here, and here!

GIVEAWAY

I will also be selecting one random commenter to win a $25 gift card to My Favorite Things to pick up one of their fun coffee OR spring sets!  I will be posting several times during the Hop…each post you comment on will get you another chance to win!  Also, subscribing to my blog via the button on your right will also get you another chance (and if you’re already a subscriber, I’ll count that as an entry, too!)! :)
