Hello and Happy Wednesday! I am trying to get more cards made for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, so I hope you enjoy the projects I am sharing. :)
Today's card uses an image from a dear online friend, Krista Smith of Saturated Canary fame. I know her store is no longer open, but you can find a few of her images at Make it Crafty. PLEASE do not purchase or download any of the images that you find on Pinterest or from the dishonest people who copy her art. there are quite a few out there who have made a livelihood off of copying Krista's lovely style. She is such a genuine, caring soul who reached out to me when I was going through my cancer treatment. I knew her beforehand, but really got to know her personally during that challenging time. So yes, I get a bit bothered each time I see those who are unscrupulous making money off of Krista's ideas and artwork. sadly, it happens to many artists. another friend, Maurie Manning, deals with this on an almost weekly basis as well.
now, on to my card. :)
I have used the wonderful "Happy Tea" image and papers from the Authentique Summertime collection. the sentiment is from Create with TLC. little flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts, vintage buttons & doily are from my stash, die is by Spellbinders, and punches are by EK Success. the tea tag is one that I saved and have repurposed. isn't it fun tied in a little bow? the seam binding snippet works perfectly stapled alongside for some added texture. I keep these on my craft desk because I can't bear to throw these beauties away! grins!
Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello! I will try to get around repay the kindness. I apologize that I am taking so long. these silly migraines and seizures have knocked me sideways. :/ blech.

awww...what a sweet digi, love her facial expression. Such a sweet card!
What pretty colors with such an inviting image! I love all your little findings, too. Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
So cute!
Fabulous job on that sketch, Jennifer. Lovely creation as always. You really know how to design some fabulous cards.
I agree that people who steal other people's art make me mad. I like the little tea tag on your card. I used a used tea bag on one of my tags today. Together between us we have the tea side covered. Beautiful card.
She looks how I feel when I have coffee!
That is a fantastic card design. Great tea theme.
So colorful and so pretty and love that image and how you've colored her!
Super cute card, Jennifer! I love all the fun details you included! Sorry your friend is having her art copied - sadly, it's happening to a lot of stamp companies too.
Such a cute card. Love how you have showcased the image. Thank you for sharing your talents with us over at Crafty Catz. Hugs Nina
