Tag, You're It Challenge #47

Today begins a new challenge over at Tag, You're It!, and I couldn't be more excited about it!  Jeanne Jachna designed a beautiful tag with so many elements from which to be inspired.  I hope you are inspired too, and play along with us!  Here is my tag:
Here's Jeanne's wonderful tag:

Isn't that gorgeous!?  I love Jeanne's ability to mix colors and patterns.  I took an easy route and used coordinating papers from one collection.  I replaced her focal butterfly with a coffee cup, which is curved for dimension.  I used the word "Coffee" as my "scallop" going across the tag.  I wanted to use Jeanne's dry embossing somewhere, but it just wasn't happening on this tag.


Supplies:
DI Ground Espresso, Gathered Twigs
MME Stella & Rose dp
MFT LLD Hug in a Mug stamp set
MFT Die-namics Warm & Fuzzy
PTI Tag Sale #10 die
Silhouette cut design: Coffee Hug In Mug Phrase (just used the "coffee" word)
Recycled twine



I enjoyed this project so much, I just kept going and made my Mother's Day cards:



Supplies:
MFT Die-Namics Flutter of Butterflies Lace and Solid
PTI Tag Sale #10 Die
Lawn Fawn Mother's Day Border Die
MFT Romantic Script Background
PTI Big Hugs Die

DI - Tumbled Glass, and Shabby Shutters
