My first thoughts went to the adage, "April showers bring May flowers." I tried a few things with this in mind but wasn't happy with any of the results. Moving on...
Next thought? "Wet your whistle." What do I like to wet my whistle with every day (multiple times)? My COFFEE! I immediately thought of THIS awesome coffee set from Precious Remembrance Shop, along with the splatters and rings from THIS set. I paper-pieced the coffee cup and fussy cut it, popping it up for some dimension. I think the embossed frame adds a nice touch while maintaining the white space around the main image.
I wish I could share a cup of coffee with one of my favorite CAS card-makers -- a frequent flyer at CASology and a blogger friend of mine who is celebrating a birthday today -- the amazing Shelly Kurth of Sweet Greetings. Happy Birthday, Shelly! Maybe someday we can actually meet and share a coffee! (Until then, we can continue to communicate via social media!)
I can't wait to see what WET brings to mind for you this week! Be sure to link up your Clean and Simple card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!
So clever - love the cup 'stains' on this!
