Coffee themed card for May swap

Aloha~

This is the card for May swap. How many of you like BOBA tea? I love Tapioca pearls, esp. in Ube, Matcha and regular ice tea flavor, as you can probably tell.😋 

The main stamp is from Lawn Fawn who became 15 years old this spring, and that's their "birthday" stamp for the store. I can't believe that I MET Lawn Fawn 15 years go when the owner started the business. I used the sentiment from Pink and Main. What took my time the most is the background, using Simon Says Stamp Brush strokes stencil. The stencil itself has more wider spaces between the brush strokes and I wanted to use them to make "narrower" brush strokes background. Not only that, I tried to match the colors on the background paper from lawn fawn. So, I moved a little by little after stenciling one brush stroke at a time. Also, some are wider brush strokes which I didn't wanna use, so I used the ones which I would've liked to get this background result. And, I also chose the colors of the strokes one by one. Although it took more time to make this particular background, it comes in one stencil, and that means, it isn't that expensive. I like this purchase! I used the layering dies to cut the base and background, from Honey Bee Stamps. I bought the similar style from Spellbinders right before this purchase, but it turned out to be smaller and couldn't use for card base, but this does! I love that! And this is "top fold". I finished off with clear stickers of gold alphabets, to make the words "boba" in 2 sizes. Oh, and of course, I had to put a bit of Glossy Accents on all the bobas! So how do you think? I love this, turned out to be "Happy" card! 

I've been hearing the severe weather lately from Texas to east coast, through mid west. If you are in the path, please stay safe!  Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

Happy Birthday!

Aloha~

My godmother's birthday is coming up. I made this card, thinking of the May birth flower~Lily of the Valley (from Hero Arts). I've known her for many many years but this is probably the first time to make a card with Lily of the Valley image, which I recently purchased.

I used Spellbinder's layering die, cutting from Lawn Fawn's paper, on the background. The sentiment is from Pink Fresh Studio. I used Honey Bee stamps pearl embellishments to finish it off. 

Inside, the sentiment is from the same stamp set of Pink Fresh Studio. My godmother brings happiness to all people around her, so I used this sentiment. 

Happy Mother's Day Eve! Hope you all will have a wonderful day tomorrow! I'll be thinking about my mom, looking at the pictures from my childhood tomorrow 💕 Love, Eve
