Double D challenge - Tea or Coffee

Darlene has given us lots of ideas for this challenge of 

Tea or coffee. Lets go!

So many ideas for this challenge

This is my card.

I started with spellbinders cardstock in mint

Then I went back to an old stamp and die from Paper Trey Ink card stock called stormy and a stamp called What the Doodle Tea Time. Good to use older stamps and dies. 

The sentiment is from Gina K stamp called Coffee Therapy

I will be looking for you in the gallery.

April Pink Fresh 2026 Challenge

This challenge is an Anything Goes challenge. We are encouraged to get inspiration anywhere. 

Can you tell if the base of this card is white or is it blue?

Using the Twisted Pattern die from Pink Fresh ,I cut it in white, and used the die to emboss the die into the blue . Because I wanted as much texture on my background I did this. 

Then I took each arch in white and sponged the edges with blue to give it more depth. I liked the look. 

This is one of the arches with the sponged edge. Next I glued them on place on the background. 

Next I added the Be Fearless flowers made with the stamp, die and stencil from Pink Fresh

The sentiment is from Sunshine On My Mind, also Pink Fresh

Gems are from my stash. 

I am entering this card in the Pink Fresh 2026 April Challenge. 

Check out the challenge yourself.
