May all your birthday wishes come true

Hi all!  I hope 2016 is being good to everyone so far :D  I'm a New Year's baby, so I always start it off  right, I guess you could say!  This card is inspired by my talented crafty friend, Marcie Sharp and the card on her post HERE.   Because I was making this with the latest ColourQ challenge in mind, I went with soft teal-ish blues and embossed the leaves in gold EP.  The flowers and leaves are from the MFT Desert Bouquet set and the sentiment is from their BB Birthday Bears set.  The card measure 4.25 x 4.25.  

Thanks for stopping by!

JAVA a great day!

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for two challenges:  colourQ and CTS93.  All images are from the totally cute Thanks a Latte set  by YNS.  The cup, lid and bellyband were cut out using the matching die set - gotta love matching dies!  I used my Copics on the cup and lid to match the colors of the challenge.  The bellyband was cut out of a scrap piece of DP.  The pink lemonade scallop was cut out using one of the elements from the open scallop die set.  I cut the card down to 4 inches so the flag sentiment would still fit in a standard envelope.  A few coffee beans stamped in chocolate ink make this card even more fun :D
