For today’s card I used the Coffee With Friends card and made it using the tower card layout. I love having coffee with friends as we catch up on all the latest happenings in our lives.

I chose Crushed Curry for the card base and paired it with the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series papers. The part I enjoyed most was coloring in the focal image as coloring is very relaxing. The accent card stock is Wild Wheat, one of the new In Colors.
The focal image is die cut using the third smallest Deckled Rectangle die and the Crushed Curry mat is the fourth largest Deckled Rectangle die. I colored the focal image with Lemon Lolly, Pecan Pie, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and SU800 Stampin’ Blends and a Garden Green marker for the mug. I sponged the edges with Wild Wheat Ink using a Small Blending Brush. Next, I popped up the focal image onto the Crushed Curry die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered to the centre of the tower. The sentiment is stamped with Crushed Curry classic ink on a scrap of Basic White and punched out with a retired small oval punch. I sponged some Wild Wheat around the edges using a Small Blending Brush and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to affix to the card.
To write a sentiment to the recipient of the card, a matted panel of Wild Wheat and Basic White (see cutting measurements below is adhered to the centre of the card.
