Heartfelt greetings from Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! Today's posting features MTTC Theme #488--
Beverages
August 12-25, 2022
Competition starts and stops on those dates at 12am CT/Chicago time or 6am UK time.
For my interpretations of the theme for my Design Team commitments to MTTC, card #1 shows coffee pot which was what my dad always wanted. He has been gone for 13+ years already. I chose coffee to remember him while I created the card.
Inspiration card #1--coffee
Have a piping hot day!
Some credits for card #1= (1) flat light blue cardstock base about 4.5" x 5.5"; light blue with white foliage stems is recycled cardstock from a tissues box!!!; the darker blue and white damask section is from a 16"x11" peel-n-stick wallpaper sheet bought at Dollar Tree recently!!!!; the black textured paper and gray cardstock scraps are from stash; and the coffee pot ephemera is from Carta Bella's Farm To Table Ephemera package (2020).
Inspiration card #2=
*tropical leaves and flowers are from Bella Blvd's Island Escape Ephemera
*the background (off-white) and base (peach)cardstocks are from Neenah (bought at Wal-Mart);
*the planner stickers and flamingo paper (part of a 6 print paper pad) were bought at Dollar Tree several years ago
