Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day Six/Post Two: oh happy day!

Hello!  Today is Day Six (post 2) of the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  I’m so thrilled to be a part of this hop and hope you enjoy all the inspiration!
I’ve been so inspired by all of the projects that have linked up to the hop!  I FINALLY inked up with awesome stamp by Tim Holtz

Oh Happy Day!

cardstock:  recollections/110/white, stampin’ up night of navy, wausau/re-entry red  stamps:  stampers anonymous/freshly brewed blueprints  ink:  ranger/archival/black, distress ink barn door/pumic stone/tea dye, copic b39/prussian blue, r46/strong red, 0.38 red pen from muji, evalicious wood veneer

I cut strips of cardstock and adhered them for my left side panel.  Love the alternating red & blue, reminds me of one of my boy’s ties.  Speaking of the boy, it’s his last day of high school and it’s definitely bittersweet for him.  I love that guy so much, heart of gold.

The veneer….yes, hoarded ferociously, but gah, I know I gotta use the cute stuff that I buy {wink}. 

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches:
..and Colour me:
Yup, that’s the tie that my boy has!

This card came together so quickly!  A combo of my excitement to ink up that awesome coffee stamp and the fabulous inspiring challenges!
