Coffee is Sunshine in a Cup


Amy is hosting another coffee lovers blog hop with a summer theme this time.  Summer means sunshine so when I found this saying, I was totally inspired.  I didn't really have DP that all toned together so I ended up sponging Daffodil Delight over 3 different unknown DP that had yellow or orange in them to make them blend together so I can make this sunburst card.  What can I say, I was desperate.  The flowers are part of a panel I took from a magazine.  The image is SU's Perfect Blend, now retired.  I computer generated the sentiment.  As you can see, report cards are coming slowly but at least my mojo is back...

  13. I love coffee early in the morning when the sun is just coming up over Lake Michigan. That's what your card reminds me of...quiet sunny mornings. Love how you've made your yellows and oranges meld. Sweet card. Bev
