Coffee & Cards With Deb & Celeste / June

For our June post, it's Anything Goes !!Celeste is back and we also have our friend Michael Trent of  World of Michael Trent as our guest .I have had my eye on this new stamp set of mine and knew I wanted to make a card with it for today . Thanks to my friend Chris Franco for enabling me once again to get this Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart . It's called To My Bestie and I absolutely love it !!

• I have a serious addiction to boxed cards that I use as my card bases and this one is from a set designed Amy Tangerine for American Crafts. There are 40 cards to a box with 10 designs in each . I chose this floral pattern for my card base,
• The Bestie image and sentiment were stamped om Strathmore Watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
• I cut the Besties image to fit in this cute pom-pom frame by Crate Paper. Isn't it fabulous !!
• The image was colored with my favorite markers by Faber-Castell, 
• I adhered the Besties image to the frame then centered the frame to the upper area of the card base.
• The sentiment was adhered below the stamped image. All items were adhered with my Scotch Pink ATG Gun .

This image reminds me of my best friend, Sue and I .We met in 1987 in the Sentara Leigh ICU and though life has taken us in different directions, she will always be my BFF. I can't wait to send her this card !! I'm excited to see what Celeste has made -- you can find her at Crafting Junky. We're excited that Michael is joining us again so please head over to World of Michael Trent for a look at his card . We hope that you will leave each of us a comment and also sign up to follow our blogs if you don't already . 

I have the coolest coffee cup for my Coconut Coffee this time. My guy Brian found it at a local 7-11 and it has an Oceana NAS, Virginia Beach design on it . We live right near the base and are very familiar with the sounds of jet planes taking off. " The Sound of Freedom " is what we call it.

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity and until my next post, Stay Creative !!
