Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Gift Card Holder

 

Back with my second card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I needed a gift card holder. 

The recipient loves purple so I made the background

 with a variety of distress inks spritzed with water.

I used my new Misti to stamp the sentiment several times

over the background.  LOVE my new toy!

Great, but busy start to the new school year.

Sharing some cards I made as sympathy cards and thinking of you cards.

The stamps are by Cas-ual Fridays called  "Cas-ual Comfort" 

Some cards are generational stamping and some are two color of ink.

 

That teal one was my favorite, but I didn't get an individual picture of it.
