Blog Hop! Celebrating Friendships with a hot cuppa!

It's time for a Tea, Coffee and Friendship Blog Hop with Make it Crafty. You should have come to me from Delphine. If you've not come from the beginning start here

Sadly, many of my closest friends live so far away from me that I don’t get the opportunity to sit across the table and laugh over a cuppa so instead I chat on Facebook & create cards & have a virtual cuppa whenever I can. I do love it when I get a chance for a face to face catch up.

So with that in mind, this month we are inspiring you with some gorgeous images illustrated by Krista Smith and a whole range of new chipboard designs relating to Friends, Coffee & Tea!

Please join us on the hop and leave a comment at each stop. Zoe will be picking two random winners from the comments. Winners will be announced and contacted Sunday 25th so get your hopping boots on!

Here's what I created - I chose one of the variations of Coffee and Yarn for my card and paired her with one of the new Chipboard sentiments - Sending a Big Hug.

I've always loved the images by Krista Smith & love that some of them are now available through Make it Crafty. So many layers and details & folds and all that hair! I cropped her down for the card & coloured her with my Copics. A quick finish with some Glossy Accents on her glasses & some Gold pen on her coffee cup & she was done.

The new chipboard sentiments from Make it Crafty are amazing! I love all the detail Zoe has included in them. I coloured the 'Sending' in Gold Pilot Super Gel Pen & the 'A Big Hug' in red Copic. It makes it look as though it's multidimensional even though it's flat. I finished it with Glossy Accents to really make it pop. 

Copics Used:

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E23, E25, E27, E18, E29, E49

Top - R35, R37, R27, R39, W7

I hope it's made you smile. I now have a sudden craving for coffee - don't know about you!
