Coffee or Tea?

Hello, Friends!  What's in your cup?  That's the question on the Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers today. I love the smell of coffee brewing, but was never able to get past the bitter taste, so I am definitely a tea drinker, but even more than that I love my hot chocolate!

Creative Nugget:  The Pick Me Up stamp set and matching Pick Me Up Dies by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps made this card easy to put together following the Mojo Monday Sketch for the week.  Looks like I spilled my hot chocolate, but those splatters you see were really made using the Grunge Elements stamp set.  A little stitching and a little twine finish off the card.

Here are the supplies from the SNSS Store used 

to make this card:

Here is my card for Pick Me Up:

Creative Nugget:  The background for this card was made with several of the splatters from the Grunge Elements stamp set in Angel Pink, New Sprout, and Versafine Onyx Black ink.  A Tim Holtz Faded Dot stencil was used to apply the Texture Paste over the splatters.  A piece of KaiserCraft designer paper and a Borders and Background Die were also added to the True Black card base. Several of the images from the new Pick Me Up set were stamped, die cut, and added to a Classic Circle Nestie that was sponged with Angel Pink ink.  A button was attached to one of the Heart Dies and added along with some rhinestone stickers and a sentiment banner.  A Wink of Stella markers was used to add some shimmer to finish the card.

This card will also be entered into the Seize the Sketch #15 Challenge
