MAGICAL SUBSTANCE

I am back from a short retreat in Truckee California.  I bought a few crafts to work on.  I started of coloring some Bugaboo digis  CLICK HERE.  Then I put together a card using a Mojo Monday Sketch,

I colored Stella using various watercolor pencils. The large rectangle die is Spellbinders.  The circles are My Creative Time.  The papers are Paper Studio.  Did you know that Diana from DL.ART now sells beautiful bundles of ribbon?  Check it out HERE.  I used Aruba Blue, St Tropez Gold and Chalk White.  This ribbon is so fun and crinkly.  The blue is variegated and reminds me of waves.
The inside quote says "Coffee...A magical substance that turns "Leave me alone or die" into Good morning honey"!
