Coffee Time.

 Hello everyone: I hope and pray you and your families are doing ok, taking care of each other and always wearing your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to a new SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge, the theme is Coffee so come and join us in our gallery.
*******************************************
Some time ago I was browsing on Ebay looking for stamp sets sales and I found a Stampin' Up! adorable set called "Mice Messages" and the decal on the wood mount had a 1999 date, it was love at first sight for me so I immediately bought it.
(Personally, I wish SU would put the dates of their stamps on the sets)

I made this Twisted Easel card with one of the images. 


I stamped the image on Ninah Kraft card stock with Memento ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. 

This is what I used.

SU "Mice Messages" (1999)
Flourishes "Picking Wild Flowers" (2013)
Flourishes "Grab a Cup" (2010)
SU "Morning Cup" (2010-2011)
Lawn Fawn "Stitched Scalloped Rectangle" dies.

Please go visit the SHOPPING OUR STASH blog to get more inspiration from my awesome teammates and come join us in our gallery.

Thank you for visiting.
Stay healthy and safe and please, don't forget to wear your masks.
