You are Amazing

Hello, everyone!  Today I've been inspired by the International Women's Day Blog Hop to celebrate and empower women!  I would like to dedicate this card to all of my female crafty blog friends because "You are Amazing!"  Thank you for your support, encouragement, and inspiration!  I appreciate you!


I stamped the young woman, coloured her with markers, and fussy-cut so I could pop her up on foam tape. I made the background with several scraps of patterned paper by tearing the edges. I like this distressed look.  I adhered two bloomdala flower die-cuts, along with a fun coffee break circle sentiment, which I die-cut with a circle die.  I printed the coffee cup image small enough to fit on the sentiment circle, coloured it with markers, fussy-cut, and adhered.  I finished the card with a stamped sentiment in black and a number of red gems.

Clear stampsSTAMPlorations One Cool Chick (woman and sentiment), Sizzix Stephanie Barnard Coffee (circle sentiment)
Digital stampSTAMPlorations Latte for Two (one coffee cup only)
DiesSTAMPlorations Bloomdala Bliss Felicity and Festive, Nellie's Multi-frame Circle
Patterned papers:  Dear Lizzy, Shimelle, DCWV
Other:  Red gems
