May Blog Hop with Friends of Unity

Hey there and welcome to our May blog hop with Friends of Unity!!!

So glad you came!

For my card this month, I wanted to use

Kendra Girl. 

The moment I first saw her, I said "she looks like my sweet friend Trisha!! 

Can you say mauve?? LOL ;)

Kendra Girl was colored with Copics markers.. 

I used Kat Scrappiness dies called, Fancy Scalloped Ovals to cut out the image..

I added some pretty white and pale yellow flowers..

That's it for this month.. :)

This beautiful coffee cup is one of Graciellie Designs called Coffee & Love

It has one coffee cup image and 5 sentiments!

I really loved coloring this!

Purple Pretty Pink Posh sequins was my color inspiration for this card.

It just jumped out for me  :) 

I added crystal effects to the flower, then some clear glass beads to the center of the flower

I love this sentiment don't you?!!

I started off with white cardstock from Papertrey Ink, my favorite cardstock!

I used an embossing folder from Crafters Companion that has lots of hearts on it! 

Then, I cut a sheet of SU! Wisteria Wonder with my Kat Scrappiness Fancy scalloped rectangle dies.

I used the same die set for the sentiment, too! 

I added the cup over a small doily and pop it up.

The leaf branch is from a sizzix die set.

I love using any type of ribbon on my cards!

For this one, I had a thin sheer lilac ribbon and found a button to match!  

Lastly, I finished it up by adding my color inspiration - Pretty Pink Posh sequins here and there.

Be sure to Hop along with the design team members to see their designs this gorgeous set!
